Oh dear.. I didn't expect this here yet. Still have so much to finish up & a couple of bugs to fix.

Btw the aim is so you can push up to github and have it automatically update your main site using a hook. If for any reason something goes wrong it rolls back to the previous working commit.

If you're a windows user sorry about the font. Im fixing all this stuff now

Hey there, I just used it to deploy my Telescope app, and it worked like a charm. Will let you know, if anything breaks up. Thanks for this awesome creation.

Very cool! Any plan to support other hosts? I believe meteor.com isn't intended for production hosting.

We've been spiffing up buildpack-based Meteor support here: https://github.com/pogoapp/buildpack-meteorite

And deployed Telescope as a forkable demo app: https://hub.pogoapp.com/demo/telescope

Yes I'm working on a script that could also hook up any linux server. Initially this is what I started with but it's a bit slow at the moment (takes ~6 mins).

The process of setting up the packages from atmosphere is a bit tricky. The goal is to not have to give in the ssh keys to github & set it up on the site once.

I realize people might not like to sign in with their private repositories enabled even though by default we only ask for the public ones. So the idea is the script lets private Github or Bitbucket repos work without letting our site access it with this script.

Hopefully I finish up soon!

A couple of obvious typos on that page:

"Sign in and enable your repositories deployment"

Should be "repository’s" (or "repositories’" if you're really talking about more than one)

"And your set!"

Should be "you’re"

Thanks for catching this. I really rushed the homepage. I'm pushing up an update now that should correct it.

FAQ doesn't seem to be complete either. Last answer is "instructions for that here."
