// share / bolt
Share your Bolt build as a public URL.
Bolt builds full apps in-browser. DropLine takes the built output and serves it on a clean URL with expiry and view counts.
// how it works
Three steps, about thirty seconds.
- Step 01
Download the project from Bolt.
Use Bolt's download / export button to save the project to your machine, or copy the file tree into a local folder.
- Step 02
Build it locally.
Run npm install and the project's build command (commonly npm run build). You'll end up with a dist/ or build/ folder containing static files.
- Step 03
Drag the output into DropLine.
Drop the dist/ folder into DropLine. Set a name, expiry, and password if needed. DropLine returns a short shareable URL.
// use cases
What people do with this.
- Send a Bolt-built MVP to a potential first customer for a reaction.
- Share an in-progress app with a co-founder without standing up infrastructure.
- Demo a Bolt experiment in a job application or pitch deck — link, not a screen recording.
// faq
Frequently asked.
Does DropLine support Bolt apps with a backend?+
DropLine serves static files only, so anything requiring a server (API routes, database connections, server-side auth) will not work. Pure-frontend Bolt apps work fine.
Do I need a Bolt account for viewers to open the URL?+
No. The shared URL is on view.dropline.biz and works in any browser, with no Bolt account or login required.
Can I update a Bolt project I already shared?+
Yes — re-upload the new build to a new drop, or wait for in-place replace (on the roadmap). View-count history starts fresh for each new drop.

DropLine vs Vercel Preview
Vercel is a production deploy platform. DropLine is the 30-second share between “I built it” and “they saw it.”
