Snapshot is for agencies and companies sharing prototypes without passwords. Upload HTML, ZIP, or paste raw HTML — it is live at `slug.ui.your.com` instantly. Create viewer identities and magic invite links. Viewers get encrypted 90-day session cookies, no login required. Access can be revoked instantly. Perfect for client previews, design reviews, and sharing internal tools without OAuth.

What it does

Key features

Four import methods: paste raw HTML, upload single file, ZIP archive, or Figma URL

Wildcard subdomain hosting: each microsite at `slug.ui.example.com`

Magic link access — no passwords, no OAuth, just a link

Encrypted AES-256-GCM session cookies (90-day, server-revocable)

Viewer management: create, update, revoke identities

Per-site deny rules for granular access control

Session management: list, inspect, revoke individual or all sessions

Invite tracking with status (claimed / expired / revoked)

Storage browser: local disk, S3, or Azure Blob

Live log tail and uptime metrics

Multi-database: SQLite, Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server

Why it's different

Where it goes beyond the obvious

Wildcard subdomain hosting without complex nginx config

Magic link flow landing directly on the microsite subdomain

Encrypted session cookies with server-side revocation

418 sentinel for nginx-proxy passthrough integration
