quickish

quickish

Publish a folder of HTML and assets to the web in one command.

npm i -g quickish
quickish login        # sign in with Google
quickish              # publish the current folder

Your page goes live at https://<you>.quickish.site/ (personal) or https://<company>.quickish.space/ (work account). No build step, no config, no server. Just a folder of files.

Commands

Visibility

Pages default to sensible visibility and you can override per push:

• Personal accounts → public (after a one-time content-policy consent on the web).
• Workspace accounts → company-visible (anyone signed in at your domain).
• --private → only you.
• --invites a@co.com,b@co.com → private to you and the people you list (they sign in to prove it).
• --public → share with the world (one-time consent).
• --workspace → share with your company.

Need fine-grained, per-person access without Google Drive? Use --invites. (Drive-folder publishing is coming soon.)

Scheduled functions (triggers)

Run a server-side function (functions/<name>.js) on a schedule by declaring a trigger in your app's quickish.json:

{
  "name": "Flipboard",
  "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",        // optional — for time-of-day triggers
  "triggers": {
    "weather": { "type": "timed", "value": "15m" },                          // every 15 minutes
    "digest":  { "type": "timed", "value": "9:00am", "daysOfWeek": ["mon","wed","fri"] }
  }
}

• value is a frequency (30s, 5m, 1h, 10 minutes, 5 hours — minimum 30s) or a time of day (9:00am, 13:00, 1pm — runs once a day in your timezone).
• daysOfWeek is optional (omit = every day); use mon…sun or full names.
• A function may have several triggers (pass an array).

quickish validates triggers before publishing — a bad schedule (below the 30s floor, an unparseable time, a trigger for a function that doesn't exist) aborts the publish with a clear message; nothing is uploaded. quickish dev runs the same schedules locally so you can verify them offline first.

Localish — your localhost on a Quickish URL

quickish --localish              # auto-detect your dev server and tunnel it
quickish --localish              # in a docker-compose repo: pick which service to tunnel
quickish --localish --port 5173  # tunnel a specific port
quickish --localish --service api  # tunnel a specific compose service (no prompt)
quickish --localish --name app   # choose the URL handle

--localish turns the CLI into a reverse tunnel from a stable Quickish URL to your local dev server (pnpm dev / npm start). Your app becomes reachable at https://<you>.quickish.site/_localish/<name>/ — live, served straight from your machine, with no build and no publish. Stop the CLI (Ctrl-C) and the URL goes offline. It's ngrok, but owned by Quickish, private by default, and stable across restarts.

• Attach or start. If a dev server is already running it's tunnelled; otherwise the CLI offers to run your detected dev script and supervises it.
• docker-compose + monorepo aware. Localish discovers what you can tunnel from both sides: Docker services (from docker compose ps) and host-side dev servers in a pnpm/npm/yarn workspace (each package's dev script + its port). That covers the common mixed setup — FE on the host via pnpm/turbo, API in Docker — showing both in one picker. It ranks them (frontend / API / database; databases are shown but skipped — it tunnels HTTP, not the DB wire protocol), navigable with arrow keys or number keys. If nothing's running it offers to bring things up — a Makefile start/dev target (e.g. make start → pnpm turbo run dev), a root pnpm dev/npm start script, or docker compose up -d — and if you pick a host dev server that's stopped, it starts that package for you. Your choice is remembered per project (--service to pin, --forget to reset).
• HMR works. WebSocket upgrades tunnel end-to-end, so Vite/Next hot-reload through the URL (set the framework's base to /_localish/<name>/ for HMR on an already-running root-base server).
• Private only. A localish site is company-visible on a work account (org members can reach it), owner-only on personal; --private forces owner-only. It can never be public.
• Resilient. The tunnel reconnects automatically (with backoff) if the connection drops — the same URL resumes.
• Plan limits. Free includes 1 active localish tunnel; paid is unlimited.
• Agent-friendly. A desktop coding agent gets a URL it can verify changes against; GET /_localish/<name>/__status returns JSON readiness (online, port).

Environment overrides

• QUICKISH_CONTROL: control-plane base URL (default https://quickish.website).
• QUICKISH_API: API base URL (default https://api.quickish.website).
• XDG_CONFIG_HOME: where the token is stored (default ~/.config/quickish).
