Localhost Is Where Projects Go to Die
You built the thing. It runs beautifully at localhost:3000 — where exactly one person on Earth can see it. Deployment gets treated as the scary infrastructure part, so the project sits on your desktop until you forget why you started it.
There's no server to rent, no FTP, no cloud bill. Two steps and every future save ships a live, global website for nothing.
Hack 1 — Git and GitHub
Four commands take a folder on your laptop and turn it into a version-controlled repository in the cloud: git init, git add ., git commit -m "ship it", git push. That's the whole on-ramp. GitHub is where your code actually lives instead of decaying on your desktop — and it's the source every host reads from, so this step has to come first.
Hack 2 — Connect Vercel or Netlify
Link that GitHub repo to Vercel or Netlify and it becomes a live, public site automatically: a real URL, free SSL, a global CDN, server routing, and no machine to manage.
The part that changes how you work is what happens next. It's continuous deployment — every future git push rebuilds and redeploys the live site on its own. You stop thinking about shipping as an event and start treating it as a side effect of saving your work.
