Gist

This is a quick tutorial explaining how to get a static website hosted on Heroku.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Do it with style
