design.computer: publishing AI-generated code in one click
A Chrome extension, Next.js dashboard and Cloudflare Workers backend that turn code from an AI chat into a live URL, with custom domains and administration.
The product problem
AI chat tools generate working pages and small apps, but the code stays inside the conversation. Getting it online means copying files, choosing a host and configuring a domain, which is exactly the step most users of these tools want to skip. design.computer removes it by putting publishing where the code already is, so a person can share a live page without leaving the chat.
The delivered scope
A Chrome extension injects a Publish button into ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini and sends the generated code to a Cloudflare Worker. The Worker stores pages in R2, records projects in D1 and serves each site on its own subdomain. A Next.js dashboard, also deployed to Cloudflare, manages projects, custom domains provisioned through Cloudflare, Stripe subscriptions and an admin area for users, projects and audit activity.
Keeping the extension thin
The extension handles one job: capturing code inside each chat and sending it to the backend. Publishing, storage, routing and domains run on Cloudflare at the edge, and account management lives in the web dashboard. That split lets the product support a new chat interface by adding a content script rather than rebuilding the publishing pipeline. A similar extension-led product benefits from deciding early which work stays in the browser.
What shipped
