Deploy static sites to LaunchPad without leaving your editor — with Agent Hoot, LaunchPad's pixel-owl guide, in your sidebar.
Works in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, VSCodium, Trae and any other editor built on VS Code.
What it does
One-click deploys. Click the 🚀 in the status bar. Git projects deploy the latest pushed commit; if you have unpushed commits, Agent Hoot offers to push first.
ZIP deploys from a folder. For projects without Git, the extension zips your build folder (dist/, build/, out/…) and uploads it — optionally running npm run build first. Right-click any folder → LaunchPad: Deploy folder.
Live build log. Every step (clone, install, build, go live) streams into the LaunchPad output panel while Agent Hoot narrates in the sidebar.
Your projects at a glance. The LaunchPad view lists every project you can access, with live status.
Team-friendly linking. The project a folder deploys to is saved in .vscode/settings.json — commit it and everyone on the team deploys to the same place.
Getting started
Install the extension.
Run LaunchPad: Sign in. Your browser opens LaunchPad — press Allow, and you're signed in.
No browser handoff? Create a token under Dashboard → IDE extension and run LaunchPad: Sign in with a token.
Run LaunchPad: Deploy (or click the rocket) and pick the project this folder belongs to.

Security
Sign-in uses a personal access token issued after you approve it in the browser. It's stored in your editor's secret storage, never in settings files.
Tokens can list projects, deploy, upload and read build logs — not delete projects, change billing or manage teams. Revoke any token from Dashboard → IDE extension.
.env files and node_modules are excluded from ZIP uploads by default.
