Publishing, address and sharing

Draft vs live, your app's address, QR codes and custom domains.

An app's lifecycle

  1. Draft
    Only you see it

    Experiment freely. Emails are in test mode and only reach you.

  2. Publish
    Live at its own address

    SSL and hosting included. Share the link or the QR code.

  3. Editing
    Live is untouched

    Changes go to the draft; visitors keep the old version until you republish.

  4. Your own domain
    booking.yourname.com

    Connect your own subdomain; ownership is proven with a DNS record. It's a monthly per-project add-on, and the same add-on also removes the DevAny badge on that project.

  • No. The old address is recorded and permanently redirects to the new one — a QR printed last month keeps working.

  • Yes. Download the source, your data and migration instructions; you can also push it to your own GitHub account with one click.

Key takeaways

  • Draft and live are separate — editing never breaks the live app.
  • Even if the address changes, old links redirect.
  • No lock-in: you can export the source and the data.
