Once a project is published, its public page lives at /view/{project-id}. Anyone with the link can open it (depending on your sharing settings) and it renders as standalone HTML with all styling and images embedded.
Open the viewer
From your projects list, click a published project, then use any "View" link, or open /view/{id} directly.
[Screenshot: the project viewer with a rendered prose page and the file drawer handle visible on the right edge.]
The viewer renders the latest published snapshot of the project, with the brand kit that was active at publish time. New kit edits made after publishing will not show up here until you re-publish.
The right-edge file drawer
Projects with more than one file get a small chevron handle on the right edge of the viewer. Click it to slide a drawer in.
The drawer shows every file in the project. The file you are currently looking at is highlighted. Click any other file to swap the viewer to that file's rendered HTML, no full page reload needed.
Click the handle again (or press Escape) to collapse the drawer.
The open/closed state of the drawer persists across same-tab navigation. If you collapse it, then come back from another page, the drawer stays collapsed.
The drawer is keyboard-accessible: tab to the handle, press Enter to toggle it.
Refresh after a republish
The viewer caches the rendered page. If you publish a new version while the viewer is open, hard-reload the page (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R) to pick up the latest snapshot.
Sharing the link
The /view/{id} URL is the public link. Send it directly. The rendered page:
- Has no remote stylesheet links, no remote scripts, and no remote images. All assets are inlined.
- Renders with full styling even when the recipient is offline.
- Does not pull anything from the original Dashtxtastic app at render time.
That self-contained property means you can also save the page from your browser (Cmd+S or Ctrl+S, choose "Webpage, Complete" or "Single file"), email the HTML to someone, or check it into a static site. It will still look right.
What the recipient sees
A recipient who clicks your link:
- Sees the rendered page directly. No login wall.
- Sees the brand bar with your logo (if you uploaded one), your brand colours, and any custom CSS you added.
- Can use the file drawer if there is more than one file.
Recipients do not need an account.
