Instantly Host Next.js Static Export from Zed AI for Portfolio Showcase

The fastest way to deploy Next.js Static Export generated by Zed AI. Perfect for portfolio showcase. No login required, zero-friction, and live in seconds on gatedpage.com.

When using the Zed AI editor to rapidly iterate on components, landing pages, or resumes, the built-in AI assistant can quickly spit out high-quality React code. However, if you are building a Next.js site using output: 'export', getting that Next.js Static Export into a shareable live URL for a portfolio showcase remains a friction-filled task. Traditional deployment platforms force you to initialize a Git repository, push to GitHub, configure build settings, and wait for CI/CD runners to finish just to see your UI in the wild.

This pipeline lag breaks the rapid-feedback loop of using an AI-native editor like Zed. Instead of copying raw code back and forth or fighting with local port forwarding, you need a way to host Zed AI Next.js Static Export Portfolio Showcase assets instantly. You should be able to ship static files straight from your terminal or build script to a public URL with zero friction, zero signups, and zero configuration.

gatedpage.com solves this bottleneck. By providing a clean, terminal-friendly API endpoint, you can pipe your compiled Next.js static export directly to the cloud. Whether you are presenting a dynamic landing page concept to a client or presenting your work for a portfolio showcase, you get an active deployment link in under a second, keeping your development momentum entirely within Zed.

How to host your Next.js Static Export from Zed AI in seconds

  1. Step 1: Configure Zed AI Instructions: Tell your Zed AI assistant to design the portfolio layout using a professional palette with soft gray (#f4f4f5) backgrounds, avoiding harsh pure whites to ensure a modern, polished look.
  2. Step 2: Generate the Static Export: Run next build in your Zed integrated terminal to compile your Next.js project into a highly optimized, production-ready static directory located in the /out folder.
  3. Step 3: Compress Your Output: Package the compiled static HTML, CSS, and JS assets by running zip -r portfolio.zip out to prepare the folder for immediate transmission.
  4. Step 4: Upload via Terminal: Send the zip file directly to the gatedpage API with a simple POST request or via our CLI tool to immediately host your project.
  5. Step 5: Share Your Portfolio Showcase: Copy the instantly generated live URL from your console and share your portfolio showcase with potential clients or employers.

Quick start

To deploy your compiled Next.js static directory, zip the contents of your build folder and push it directly to our secure upload endpoint using standard tools like curl.

# Compress your Next.js static export
zip -r portfolio.zip out/

# Deploy instantly to get a live showcase URL
curl -X POST -F "file=@portfolio.zip" https://gatedpage.com/api/v1/upload

The API will respond immediately with a JSON payload containing your live preview link:

{
  "success": true,
  "url": "https://gated.page/f/portfolio-showcase-987x",
  "expires_at": "2026-04-15T12:00:00Z"
}

If you prefer a streamlined CLI tool for your local workspace, you can install the lightweight gatedpage binary and upload your assets in a single command:

# Upload via the gatedpage CLI
gatedpage upload portfolio.zip

Common questions

Do I need to sign up for an account to host my Next.js static export?
No, you can host Zed AI Next.js Static Export Portfolio Showcase pages completely anonymously. Gatedpage requires no login, no API keys, and no email verification to upload files and generate a live URL.
How long will my portfolio showcase link remain online?
For anonymous uploads on the free tier, your static files remain hosted for 15 days. If you need a permanent URL for your resume or live portfolio, you can sign up for a paid gatedpage account to disable expiration and use custom domains.
What are the file size and build limits for uploading Next.js static exports?
The free tier supports a single file or a zipped static folder with a maximum size of 5 MB. This is typically more than enough for Next.js static websites with highly optimized assets, minified JS, and compressed styling.
Can I automate deployment using Zed AI's custom prompt instructions?
Yes. You can instruct Zed AI to compile your Next.js app and trigger a deployment script pointing to gatedpage.com/api/v1/upload. This allows you to generate a UI, run the build step, and display a live hosting preview link directly in your editor workspace.
