Build
Live preview
See your application running in real time as you build it. Rytora BuildLabs offers two preview modes depending on your plan — both provide instant feedback so you can iterate quickly.
Preview modes
Browser preview
- Runs entirely in the browser — no server resources consumed
- Instant startup with zero cold-boot time
- Full React + Vite frontend preview with hot reload
- Simulated API responses for testing UI flows
- No Supabase access (frontend-only preview)
- Ideal for prototyping, UI iteration, and quick demos
Cloud preview
- Full isolated environment on the Rytora BuildLabs server
- Connected to Supabase with live database and auth
- PostgreSQL database via Supabase
- End-to-end testing: frontend and Supabase together
- Persistent state between preview sessions
- Closest experience to production before deploying
Hot reload
Every change you make — whether through AI prompts or manual code edits — triggers an automatic refresh of the preview panel. The preview uses Vite HMR (Hot Module Replacement) under the hood, so most updates appear in under a second without losing component state. Style changes are injected instantly via Tailwind CSS hot module replacement.
For schema changes on the Pro plan, Supabase migrations are applied automatically and the preview reloads once the database is updated.
Preview URLs
Each project gets a unique preview URL using a wildcard subdomain pattern. You can share this URL with anyone to let them see your work in progress.
URL pattern
https://<project-slug>.preview.buildlabs.rytora.aiThe subdomain is derived from your project name. Preview URLs are active as long as the preview environment is running. Cloud previews (Pro) stay alive for the duration of your session; browser previews (Free) run as long as the browser tab is open.
Which mode should I use?
Start with the browser preview to quickly prototype your UI and iterate on the design. When you need to test database queries, authentication flows, or Supabase integration, upgrade to cloud preview on the Pro plan.
