Uploading a ZIP archive

Your project is uploaded as a single .zip archive. When you upload, Vydex reads the archive to build a richer listing automatically.

What we read from the ZIP

• File tree — buyers see the full structure of your project (contents stay locked on paid repos until purchase).
• AI-tool footprints — markers from Cursor, Claude, v0, Windsurf and others, so the listing is honestly badged as AI-built.
• Preview images you add, plus your live demo link.

What to include

• Your full source, a clear README, and anything needed to run it.

What to leave out

• node_modules and build output — they bloat the archive; buyers will reinstall.
• Secrets — .env files, API keys, private keys. Never ship credentials in your ZIP.

Versions

Uploading a new ZIP creates a new version with its own changelog, like a commit — buyers always get the latest.
