Deploy Generated Apps to Netlify

You can deploy your generated apps directly to Netlify. To enable this:

1. Create a Netlify account
2. Generate an auth token from User Settings > Applications > New access token
3. Add the token to your .env file:

   NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN=your-token-here
   

Once configured, you can deploy any app you generate through liblab.ai to Netlify using the deploy option in the UI.
