Public review links vs private-first artifacts

temp.md vs Stacktree

Both products treat publishing as an agent operation rather than a deployment project. Stacktree is private-first HTML hosting with deep gating and engagement controls. temp.md is public-link-first artifact handoff with multiple formats, open protocol surfaces, pinned comments, snapshots, and an activity-based lifecycle.

Short answer

Choose Stacktree when private-by-default HTML, end-to-end encryption, email gates, custom domains, or engagement analytics are central. Choose temp.md for anonymous multi-format publishing, external review, A2A support, and work that should expire naturally after iteration stops.

Choose temp.md for

  • Multi-format and multi-file static artifacts
  • Anonymous publishing through MCP, A2A, CLI, or REST
  • Pinned comments and immutable sign-off snapshots
  • Activity-based expiry with a restore window

Choose Stacktree for

  • Private-by-default HTML links
  • End-to-end encryption and email-domain gates
  • Custom domains and engagement analytics
  • Agent fleets with private artifact workloads

Where the choice matters

01

The biggest difference is the default access posture

Stacktree assumes an agent artifact should be private when created and layers passwords, email-domain checks, one-time links, and optional end-to-end encryption on top. temp.md assumes the point is an easy external handoff, then lets an owner add a password after claiming when the review needs a gate.

02

Both understand the agent update loop

Each product treats a stable URL as a core primitive rather than a paid convenience. Stacktree exposes update_site through MCP; temp.md exposes update_temp through hosted and local MCP, A2A, CLI, and REST. In both cases, the shared link survives revisions.

03

temp.md covers more artifact shapes

Stacktree is deliberately centered on private HTML. temp.md renders HTML and full static bundles while also providing native viewers for Markdown, CSV, and Mermaid. It is a stronger fit when an agent produces several kinds of review artifact rather than HTML alone.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is Stacktree more private than temp.md?

Stacktree has the deeper private-sharing feature set, including private defaults, end-to-end encryption, email-domain gates, and one-time links. temp.md offers unguessable public URLs and optional password protection after claim.

Do both services support MCP?

Yes. Both provide hosted MCP publishing. temp.md also ships a local stdio MCP package and an A2A endpoint.

Which supports more than HTML?

temp.md natively supports HTML, Markdown, CSV, Mermaid, and multi-file static sites. Stacktree is optimized around HTML artifacts.
