Preview and View Your Live Site

You shipped something. Now let us actually look at it and share it. This lesson is short on purpose, because this part really is easy, and seeing your own thing live for the first time is the best feeling in this whole course.

Step 1: Open your live URL

Copy the link Vercel gave you, the one that ends in vercel.app. Paste it into your browser and press Enter. There it is. Your project, on the internet, not pretend, the real thing.

Step 2: Check it on your phone

Send the link to yourself in a message and open it on your phone. This is the moment it sinks in. It is not on your laptop anymore. It is online, and it works on any device, anywhere.

Browser - your live site
https://my-first-project.vercel.app
----------------------------------------
Hi, I'm building things now.
Made with an AI coding setup.
Your project, open at a real web address you can share.

Step 3: Share it

Send the link to a friend or post it. You do not need permission and you do not need to ask anyone. Sharing a live thing you made is how you start to feel like a builder, because you are one now.

Preview links for changes
Vercel also makes a fresh preview link every time you try a change, so you can look before it goes live for everyone. You do not need this on day one, but it is nice to know it is there.
