I too listened to the Reclaim Today show (here's the audio podcast to listen to while cycling) last week and like Tony Hirst I too spent some time playing with Zeit Now [docs] over the weekend. What I didn't do was write a longish post about it. But Tony Hirst did, so I'd delighted to pass it along. It's not quite as simple as advertised, but it's pretty sweet. I used the Windows version so I didn't have the nice drag-and-drop interface. And I'm still pretty ham-handed with Github so it was easy for me to make basic errors. But yes, if you type 'Now' on the command line in the Windows Terminal, you can have your own website, Node application or Docker container up and running instantly. Here's a simple MDX deck I deployed. Here's the source.
