Summary
Vercel announced that developers can deploy apps without an account using Vercel CLI, according to its changelog.

The change lowers the barrier to getting a live link, and users will still need to sign in to keep the project. Teams should watch how temporary deployments are handled, including how long they last and what limits apply, since the snippet does not give those details.
