ProtoGate Secure Prototype Hosting

One-click hosting for PM/designer prototypes with versions, passwords, and access limits

Problem

PMs and designers often need to share AI-generated prototypes or mini-tools externally, but sending files makes versioning hard and public links risk leaks; self-hosting is too much work and big platforms are overkill. A V2EX post about an internal prototype hosting tool confirms the need.

Solution

Drag in a zip, single HTML, or folder to get a fixed short link; each upload keeps a version with its own URL; set public/password/private access with open limits and expiry; pre-publish checks for missing js/css/images and obvious secrets.

Users

Product managers, designers, indie developers, small teams

MVP

Drag-and-drop zip/HTML folder upload with short link generation; automatic version history with switchable URLs; password, expiry, and open-count limits; static asset missing checks before publish; simple access logs

Revenue

Free tier limited to 3 projects and 7-day expiry; Pro subscription unlocks unlimited projects, password protection, analytics, and custom domains

Why now

AI has exploded prototype and demo production, but delivery and permission management still rely on file sharing; indie developers can build this quickly with object storage and serverless functions
