What Hacker News says

Easiest is to use the "publish artifact" button, but that wraps them in a giant blob of obtuse React code which means they load slowly and view source is pretty much useless, e.g. https://claude.site/artifacts/46897436-e06e-4ccc-b8f4-3df90c... Second easiest is to take the code and paste it in a Gist - like this: https://gist.github.com/simonw/14a2c3ef508839f26377707dbf5dd... And then take the Gist ID and add it to this URL: https://gistpreview.github.io/?14a2c3ef508839f26377707dbf5dd... That gives you a URL you can load in your browser. My preferred route is to host the generated HTML directly myself. I mainly use that via GitHub Pages - I can drop an extract-urls.html file into https://github.com/simonw/tools and about 20 seconds later it becomes available at https://tools.simonwillison.net/extract-urls Those last two options only work

for Artifacts that didn't use React (that's why I use "no react" in most of my artifact prompts). If you DID use React you can turn that into a standalone HTML and JavaScript app that you can deploy using https://github.com/claudio-silva/claude-artifact-runner - I wrote some notes on using that here: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/23/claude-artifact-runner...
