Share your Lovable app as a quick public URL.
Lovable's preview URLs are great. DropLine adds expiration, password protection, view counts, and a non-Lovable delivery domain for client-friendly shares.
// how it works
Three steps, about thirty seconds.
- Step 01
Connect Lovable to your GitHub (or download).
From Lovable, sync to GitHub or use the export option to pull the project source onto your machine.
- Step 02
Build the project to static files.
Run the project's build command locally. Most Lovable projects are Vite-based and produce a dist/ folder.
- Step 03
Drop the output into DropLine.
Drag dist/ into DropLine. Add an expiry, set a viewer password for client work, and send the resulting URL.
// use cases
What people do with this.
- Send a client a Lovable-built MVP with a password so it stays private.
- Share an early-stage product idea with advisors without revealing it lives on Lovable.
- Run an A/B-style design test by issuing two DropLine URLs with different builds.
// faq
Frequently asked.
Why use DropLine when Lovable already gives me a preview URL?+
Lovable preview URLs are great for in-team work. DropLine gives you a separate, neutral delivery domain with built-in expiry, password protection and view-count analytics — useful for client work.
Will my Lovable-built React app run as a static site?+
If it's a frontend-only build (no SSR, no backend API), yes. Lovable's typical Vite + React output works on DropLine without changes.
Can I share a Lovable preview without making it public on Lovable?+
Yes. Build locally and upload to DropLine, with a viewer password. The artifact stays accessible only to people you share the password with.

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