Sharing and Publish

How do I share my site or put it live?

Every app comes with a live share link, and pressing share copies it, so anyone can open it without an account. Publishing to your own address is free too: a free account keeps three sites live at once, the address looks like apnar-site.banglacodes.app, and the site goes live in 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Every app comes with a viewing link from the moment it exists. Press "Share" and it is copied. Put that link on Facebook, send it to a client, drop it into your CV. Whoever opens it sees the real site, and no account is needed.

The publish and share buttons at the top of the builder

Publish to your own address (free)

If you want, the app can go live in one click, for free. Your site's address then looks like this: apnar-site.banglacodes.app . A free account keeps three sites live at once, and each carries a small BanglaCodes badge at the bottom. Any Token pack lets you keep as many live as you like and takes the badge off.

Press "Go live, free" and we handle the rest. It takes somewhere between 30 seconds and 1 minute. Once it is done, the "Your site is live" sheet opens with "Copy link", "Open site", "Send on WhatsApp" and "Tell everyone". "Tell everyone" opens the phone's own share menu with a ready line carrying the site's name and link, so you can send it on Messenger, imo or SMS as you like; where there is no share menu, WhatsApp opens. After that the button at the top reads "Live", and pressing it opens this sheet again.

Which one, and when?

Your own domain (aiinbangla.com, for example)

On a published site you can attach a domain you bought yourself. Press the domain button at the top of the app, type in the address, then put the DNS record it shows you into your domain company's panel. The HTTPS certificate sets itself up at no extra cost; the one-time hosting fee is written out in the domain guide. (The chapter below walks through it step by step.)

You can share a chat too

Not just sites, your whole conversation with the AI can be shared as well. Press "Share" at the top of the chat and a link gets copied (it looks like banglacodes.com/s/...). Whoever opens it can read the last 200 messages, but cannot change anything.

It is wonderful for teaching someone: "look, say it like this and it builds the thing." The link will not show up on Google, and pressing "stop sharing" kills it instantly. Do remember that turning it off and back on mints a new link; the old one stops working for good, so anyone you already sent it to will need the new one.

Keeping it like an app on your phone

BanglaCodes is a PWA itself. Open it in your phone's browser, press "Add to Home Screen", and an app style icon appears. There is nothing separate to install.

Your own live site installs on a phone the same way. And for a real Android app, once the site is published press the "Live" button at the top: its sheet has the "Android app" card, which makes an .apk to install on phones and an .aab for the Play Store; your first app is free. The "Android app" button in the builder's tools row opens the same card. The steps are in the phone app guide.

One thing worth knowing: publishing takes a snapshot of your app as it is at that moment. Changes you make in the Builder afterwards do not reach the live site on their own. To publish the new work, press Publish again. If you have changed your prices and the live site still shows the old ones, this is almost always why.

Server code does not run here, and we say so up front

BanglaCodes hosting runs only what a browser can run: the page design and the work inside the browser. No separate program on the server (Express or Flask, say), no database and no hidden secret Key run here. When you bring such code in from a folder or GitHub and publish, we tell you at once which parts will not work for visitors, so you hear it before your customers do. There is an alternative: for forms and orders, the site inbox on your own-domain hosting, and for keeping the app's own ledger, stock or attendance the same on every device, cloud data on the Business plan. Anything beyond that has to live on another company's server and be called from this site, which is a technical job.

Beginner questions

Publish versus the share link, what is the difference?

The share link always shows the latest state; Publish freezes a chosen version. Give customers the published address, keep the share link for testing.

Is Publish free?

Yes. A free account keeps three sites live at once, each with a small BanglaCodes badge at the bottom. For a fourth, take one down, or any pack lets you keep as many live as you like with no badge. The share link is free for everyone.

What if I spot a mistake after publishing?

Fix it and press Publish again, the same address gets the new version. The address never changes.

Analytics, pixels and verification code

To measure visitors on a published site, open "Analytics and extra code" under the domain settings in the builder:

Saving applies instantly, no redeploy needed. Everything works fully on a published site, on the free address as much as on your own domain; only on the share link do analytics run in a limited way, because that link lives in a security sandbox.

Once published, the text, prices and pictures can be changed yourself without the AI. Changing text, prices, pictures and colours yourself has the method.
