Sharing your project

Everything you make in FlutterGo.AI starts private: "Only you can see your project by default." Nothing leaves your account until you share it.

There are three ways to share:

• A preview link (Ship → Share): anyone with the link can try your app in their browser, on a phone or a computer.
• The Explore gallery (Ship → Publish): list your app on FlutterGo's public gallery, and let others copy it if you like.
• Team access (in Settings): invite people by email to work on the project with you.

Want a permanent website on your own address instead? That is publishing to Vercel, covered in Web deployment.

What you need#

• For a preview link: a project whose preview runs. On the Free plan you also need credits left.
• For the Explore gallery: you must be the project's owner. Any plan works.
• For Team access: the email address of each person you want to invite, and Starter or above (the owner's plan sets how many people: 2 on Starter, 5 on Pro, 20 on Business).

How to do it#

1. Share a preview link#

1. Start the preview with ▶ at the top of the right panel. Share stays greyed out until the preview runs.
2. In the right panel, under Ship, click Share.
3. The first time, FlutterGo explains: "This makes a public link to your app preview. Anyone with the link can open the app until you stop sharing. Your project files and code stay private." Click Create public link.
4. The panel shows Preview is live · Public and your link. Click Copy, scan the QR code ("Scan to open on a phone"), or click Open.

FlutterGo also emails the link to you. Email me the link sends it again. While the link is live, the Ship button reads Shared, and the panel counts visits, for example "12 opens · 5 unique".

On a phone, the link opens your app full screen. On a computer, it shows the app inside a phone frame, and viewers can switch between iPhone, Android and iPad models.

On the Free plan, you can share while your account has credits, and for 30 minutes after you spend the last one. On paid plans, sharing works even at 0 credits.

Tip: The Share button in the top bar gives you the same kind of link, under Preview link, with Copy link and Open in a new tab.

2. Stop sharing#

Open Ship → Share again and click Stop sharing.

Important: Anyone with the link can open your app. Send it only to people you trust.

3. List your app in the Explore gallery#

The Explore gallery at fluttergo.ai/explore shows apps that FlutterGo users have published. Only the project's owner can publish, on any plan.

1. In the right panel, under Ship, click Publish.
2. The Publish showcase window opens: "Review the details before making your app public." FlutterGo has already filled in a draft from your project. Click Auto-fill with AI to write it again.
3. Check the Title (it is required), Tagline, Description, Category and Tags.
4. Under Media, choose Images primary or Video primary. Use Add images, or Take screenshot to capture your running preview. For a video, use Add video and Add poster (optional).
5. Tick Allow others to clone this app if you want visitors to be able to copy it.
6. Click Publish. Not ready yet? Click Save draft and come back later.

Your app's public page opens, and the app appears in the gallery. The page shows how many people viewed and cloned it.

When cloning is on, visitors see a Clone this app button. After they sign in, they get their own copy, named "your app (copy)", in their own account. Only the app's files are copied: your chat and your account stay yours.

Important: Opening Publish again for an app that is already listed takes it off the gallery until you click Publish in that window.

4. Invite people with Team access#

Team access lets people work on a project with you. Access is set per project.

1. Go to Home. Open the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar, click Settings, then Team access.
2. Under Project, pick the app you want to share: "Access is set separately for each project."
3. Under Invite someone, type their Email.
4. Under Access, choose Editor or Viewer.
5. Click Send invite. FlutterGo emails the invite, and it also waits for them in the FlutterGo app under Account → Teams. You can still click Copy link and send the link yourself.

When they open the link, they sign in with the email address you invited, and the project opens. It then appears under Shared with you in their sidebar. Until then, the invite shows as Waiting, with its own Copy link, Send again and Cancel. An invite expires after 14 days.

The People on this project list shows everyone. As the owner, you can change a person's access with the menu next to their name, click Make owner to hand the project over, or click Remove. Handing it over asks you to confirm: "Make name the owner? You will become an editor."

Who can do what#

A shared project runs on the owner's plan. When an editor chats with the agent, the owner's credits pay for it. A viewer sees this in the chat: "View only. Ask the owner for Editor access to chat with the agent."

Which way should I share?#

Troubleshooting#

Problem: Share is greyed out. Possible causes: The preview is not running. Solution:

1. Press ▶ at the top of the right panel and wait for the app to appear.
2. Click Share again.

Problem: Share says "You are out of credits." Possible causes: On the Free plan, the preview and its link need credits. Solution:

1. Buy a credit pack or upgrade in Plans & billing.
2. Start the preview and click Share again.

Problem: "Could not create a public link." Possible causes: A temporary problem while the link was being made. Solution:

1. Click Try again in the Share panel.

Problem: Publishing says "Only the project owner can do this." Possible causes: You are an editor or viewer on this project. Solution:

1. Ask the owner to publish it.

Problem: Take screenshot says "Couldn't capture the preview". Possible causes: The preview is not running. Solution:

1. Start the preview, then try again, or upload an image with Add images.

Problem: The invite link doesn't open the project. Possible causes: They signed in with a different email address, or the invite is more than 14 days old. Solution:

1. Ask them to sign in with the email address you invited.
2. Or send a new invite from Team access.

Problem: A teammate can't change who has access. Possible causes: Only the owner can change access, remove people or hand the project over. Solution:

1. Ask the owner, or have the owner make them owner with Make owner.

FAQ#

Is my project public by default? No. "Only you can see your project by default." Sharing is always something you choose to do.

Do people need a FlutterGo.AI account to open a preview link? No. The link opens in any browser. "Viewers only see the app, not your project."

Does sharing cost credits? No. On the Free plan you need credits left for the preview to run, but sharing does not use them.

What is the difference between Editor and Viewer? An editor can chat with the agent, using the owner's credits, and can invite others. A viewer can open the project but cannot change it.

Can editors invite people? Yes, as Editor or Viewer, except in a team project, where only the team's owner and admins invite. Only the owner can change access, remove people or hand the project over.

How many people can I share a project with? It depends on the owner's plan: 2 on Starter, 5 on Pro, 20 on Business, no limit on Enterprise. Free accounts can't share a project, but can join one they are invited to. Pending invites count.

Can I take my app off the Explore gallery? There is no unpublish button in the studio yet. Ask support with the Help button.

There are two Publish buttons. Which is which? Publish under Ship lists your app in the Explore gallery. Publish in the top bar (it reads Connect Vercel until you connect) puts your app's web version on your own Vercel account, on Pro and up. See Web deployment.
