I Asked AI to Build Me a Landing Page. Getting It Live Took 3 Hours.

An AI-generated HTML landing page was created in seconds, but publishing it took three hours because deployment tools were fragmented and technical.

The author ran into friction with Netlify, GitHub Pages, outdated tutorials, and missing command-line steps while trying to ship the page.

That experience led to HTML Deployer, a Chrome extension that detects HTML in chat, previews it, and deploys it to services like Netlify or GitHub Pages without leaving the page.

The story underscores a bigger gap in AI-assisted creation: generating code is easy, but getting it online still feels unnecessarily hard for non-developers.
