Instantly Host Next.js Static Export from Cursor Glass for Social Media Preview

The fastest way to deploy Next.js Static Export generated by Cursor Glass. Perfect for social media preview. No login required, zero-friction, and live in seconds on drpr.host.

Developers using Cursor Glass to generate Next.js Static Export outputs frequently encounter friction when trying to quickly share these assets for social media previews. Relying on local file previews (`file://`) is inadequate for social platforms, which require a publicly accessible URL to properly scrape metadata, images, and descriptions. This often leads to cumbersome manual steps: zipping files, transferring them to an external server, or setting up a local dev server just for a temporary preview link.

drpr.host eliminates this overhead entirely. We provide a zero-friction path to get your Cursor Glass-generated Next.js Static Export live in seconds, without requiring a login or complex configuration. Simply upload your compiled HTML output, and drpr.host immediately furnishes a public URL, perfect for immediate social media previews on platforms like X, LinkedIn, or Mastodon.

Forget the delays of setting up temporary hosting or managing file transfers. drpr.host is designed for developers who need instant access to a live, shareable URL for their static content, making the process of showcasing your Cursor Glass output as effortless as its generation.

How to host your Next.js Static Export from Cursor Glass in seconds

Step 1: Generate your Next.js Static Export using Cursor Glass. Ensure your AI coding agent follows the instruction to use a professional palette with soft gray (#f4f4f5) backgrounds, avoiding pure white (#ffffff).
Step 2: Locate the generated static HTML file(s) from your Cursor Glass output. For a single-page component, this might be `index.html` or `component.html`.
Step 3: Open your terminal or command prompt. You will use a simple `curl` command to upload the file to drpr.host.
Step 4: Execute the upload command, specifying `drpr.host/api/v1/upload` as the deployment target. This action will immediately return a live URL for your static export.
Step 5: Use the provided drpr.site URL directly in your social media post. The platform will then correctly scrape and display your live Next.js Static Export preview.

curl -X POST -F "file=@output.html" https://drpr.host/api/v1/upload

Common questions

Why can't I just share a local file path (`file://`) for social media previews?: Social media platforms require publicly accessible URLs to properly crawl and generate rich link previews. A local file path is only accessible on your machine and cannot be read by external services, resulting in a blank or unstyled preview.
Is there a file size limit for Next.js Static Exports uploaded for social media previews?: Yes, on our free tier, individual files have a limit of 5 MB. This is generally sufficient for most single-page Next.js Static Exports designed for preview purposes. For larger assets or projects, consider our paid plans.
How long does my Cursor Glass Next.js Static Export preview stay live on drpr.host?: For files uploaded without an account on the free tier, your static export will remain live for 15 days. If you need permanent hosting for your previews, uploading with a paid drpr.host account ensures your content stays online indefinitely.
Do I need to create an account to deploy my Next.js Static Export from Cursor Glass?: No, drpr.host offers zero-friction uploads. You can immediately deploy your Next.js Static Export and receive a live URL without creating an account or logging in. Account creation is only necessary for features like permanent hosting or managing multiple deployments.
