HTML is back. Drag a file or folder into your browser and Vercel Drop gives you a production URL in seconds.

<p>I remember using this drag‑and‑drop style deploy on Netlify years ago, so Vercel definitely took their time bringing Drop out. </p><p></p><p>Netlify’s new credit‑based pricing (where production deploys cost credits) actually makes this Vercel feature look pretty reasonable now.</p>

<p>The no Git/CLI/local setup part is the real hook for me. I can see this being useful for quick repros or static preview handoffs. Curious how Drop handles teams that need preview env vars or a small build step instead of just plain HTML.</p>

<p><strong>INCREDIBLE!</strong> You guys just saved my relationship and my sanity. 😭</p><p>Ever since I showed my girl Claude Design, apparently every thought she has needs a production link.</p><p></p><p>A grocery list.</p><p>A checklist.</p><p>A note to herself.</p><p></p><p>One time she recreated our text messages and made me deploy them so I could 'review my mistakes.'</p><p>Thank you for enabling this insanity. 😂</p>
