External handoff vs authenticated workspace

temp.md vs display.dev

Both products give agent-made HTML and Markdown a stable URL and a feedback loop. display.dev is an authenticated, permanent workspace for company artifacts. temp.md is an anonymous-create-first handoff layer for external reviewers, temporary work, and open agent protocols.

Reviewed against published product information · July 2026

Short answer

Choose display.dev for company SSO, auditability, permanent team libraries, agent attribution, and organization-wide access. Choose temp.md for frictionless public or password-protected handoffs that do not require a workspace or paid team infrastructure.

Choose temp.md for

  • Clients, collaborators, and recipients outside one company
  • Anonymous publishing with no account or credit card
  • Temporary review artifacts that should expire
  • MCP, A2A, CLI, and REST portability

Choose display.dev for

  • Company-gated artifact libraries
  • Google or Microsoft authentication and audit logs
  • Permanent URLs with agent and human attribution
  • Internal comments that agents read and resolve

Where the choice matters

01

display.dev is designed around an organization boundary

display.dev makes agent output feel like a governed internal publishing system: viewers authenticate with company identities, versions name the agent and human behind them, and paid plans add SSO, private artifacts, and audit logs. That is a better fit for recurring internal reporting.

02

temp.md is designed around the recipient boundary

A temp.md link is easy to send to a client, vendor, community, or other company because publishing and viewing do not begin with organization setup. If the content needs a shared secret, the owner can claim the Temp and add a password without changing the canonical URL.

03

Both close the feedback loop differently

Each product lets feedback return to the publishing agent. display.dev emphasizes threaded organizational collaboration, attribution, and resolution. temp.md keeps the interaction lightweight with optional pinned page comments and immutable snapshots for formal sign-off.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can display.dev publish public artifacts?

Yes. It supports public artifacts as well as gated and private modes, with capabilities varying by plan.

Which is better for sharing outside a company?

temp.md is simpler for a public or password-protected external handoff. display.dev is stronger when identity, company access, attribution, and auditability matter.

Do both support comments and agent updates?

Yes. Both keep a stable URL across updates and provide on-page feedback that can flow back to the agent, though display.dev offers a more organization-oriented review system.
