Local preview with appfunnel dev

feature

Run appfunnel dev and your funnel renders locally from the files on your machine, with hot-module reload on every save. It is the full funnel, your components, products, and checkout, running against your own code, and it never touches your hosted draft.

Use cases

  • Instant feedback - save a file and the local preview updates immediately, no publish and no round trip
  • Your own tooling - work in your editor, your git, your branches, with the funnel rendering right there
  • Draft stays untouched - local dev is fully isolated, so experimenting never risks what is hosted

Impact

Editing real code deserves a real local loop. Rendering the funnel from your files with hot reload gives engineers the tight, familiar workflow they expect, while keeping the hosted draft and everything downstream of it completely safe.
