Awesome service so far. The Continuous Deployment flow is awesome with deploy previews, CDN, custom routing, Automatic SSL from Let's Encrypt. The SSL can be improved to be true automatic without a provisioning step (first hit issues a cert)

We're working on that! Main challenge is in making sure we don't inadvertently get people's domains stuck in Let's Encrypts rate limiting...

#23On the main page there's an interactive tutorial
$ npm install netlify -g /usr/local/bin/netlify -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/netlify-cli/bin/cli.js ├── left-pad@0.0.3 ├── isarray@1.0.0 ├── is-positive-integer@1.1.1 ├── babel@6.5.2
I hope this was a joke because it made me laugh a lot

#24This is interesting, I just tested it out and its pretty flawless.
For a standard React FE app, why use this vs Heroku vs S3?

#26Gitlab on-prem support coming? That would make me very likely to switch especially because I think it would make it much easier to spin up review apps for our SPA's

We do support GitLab on prem already, but right now it doesn't let you trigger deploy previews and branch deploys. Currently that's something we can help with on the custom plan, but we do hope to bring it to the normal tiers as well.

#28I moved some static sites to Netlify from S3 because it seemed easier than getting HTTPS working on S3. It certainly was, and I haven't looked back. The automatic generation of a static site from the repo is a killer feature I didn't know I needed until I tried it. Congrats to the team!
Yeah, I loved them too really great service that is forward thinking. They work great for large apps or corporate sites, but for small/personal sites their pricing model doesn't work so well, which I can understand.
For instance I needed simple http auth on some directories in a site, and to get that it's $45/month. I ended up with caddy on a $5 digital ocean droplet which automatically sets up and renews the lets encrypt SSL for you. Caddy really is pretty damn nice.

oh nice! thats a welcome change - seems like last time I looked wasnt even 6 months ago and it was not there yet - branch deploys would be one of my exact use cases for sure

#30Netlify is amazing. It is so easy, a pleasure to use for static sites and react apps, continuous deployment is awesome, and open source projects are (for now and hopefully for the long run!) FREE.
Huge, huge fangirl. Keep it up, Netlify!!!
