Create.xyz · Export to ship
The hosted preview is where you proved the idea — not where strangers should live. Own an export, move secrets out of project settings, and put a start path on paper so someone else can ship a known version with the editor closed. This is the first useful cut on a real address — not cancel-the-project, and not a full rewrite.

Company-level evidence
Review methodologyIn plain words
To-production here means the export becomes the thing you ship from. Sign-in checks live where they matter, project-settings secrets rotate out, you can name which version is live, and you know how to undo a bad Publish. The hosted preview stays a studio — not the finish line. A short note that people can trust the site is.
What living in preview still hides
That is the right first job. The second job is what users feel when the happy path fails — whether you wrote it down or not.
If a row is only hidden on the screen, someone can still ask for it another way. Production checks every read and write where it counts.
Keys that only exist in the project panel are not a safe home. Rotate anything that lived there.
Production answers simple questions: what changed, which version is live, what checks passed, and how to undo.
Reviewed export builds beat one-click publish when uptime matters.
The handoff we actually run
First useful ship: own start path, passwords, and undo — not cancel the project today.
01
One path real people must complete. Measure it outside the happy demo.
02
Fresh values. Server-side checks for who can read or write.
03
Someone else can ship a known version and reverse a bad one.
04
Support knows preview-era gaps. Fix what breaks before you buy ads.
How to
Own boot, secrets, and undo for real users — first useful ship.
Step 01
Sign-in, double submits, empty states, and failed form calls.
Step 02
Buildable export, locked dependencies, passwords outside the public site.
Step 03
Not just hidden buttons.
Step 04
A release is not “hit Publish in the project.”
Step 05
Then decide if migrate or harden is next.

Sessions that only survived inside the hosted preview, secrets still parked in project settings, and forms that fail when the editor is closed. Retries and longer visits expose gaps the demo never stressed.
An export you own, hosting with a way back, secrets outside the client, a start path that works with the editor closed, and a way to undo a bad release — not “share the preview link.”
Harden when the pages and data model already match the product and you can still explain who can see what. Move deeper when the preview host fights every next feature. We audit first, then pick.
Often weeks if scope stays on host, sign-in, data, and the critical journey — not polishing every prompt edge. We sequence around a first useful cut on a real address.
Bring the project, how people sign in, and the one journey that must work. We put a real start path and undo before we talk cancel.
