Worth deciding on a cadence for refreshing the Glitch-hosted example / showcase site for Postmarks. Especially with the UI improvements from #122 and related PRs, it is noticeably out of date at the time of opening this issue.

Questions:

  • should it always be postmarks.glitch.me
    • I think that's fine (it aims to be a simple single-user app that can run on something like Glitch); but maybe another location would be another option
    • should there be more than one showcase site we link out to
  • should this be nightly / on push / driven by GH Actions
  • would this make more sense to be based on actual versioned releases

this is a good idea, and will dovetail nicely with me documenting some things around how to update your deployment when you've got it hosted somewhere with a git repo connected to it. (I did just go ahead and update the example deployment to grab the sweet new look, though, thanks!)

On a related topic, I deployed a Postmarks on Replit to confirm it is a straightforward thing to do. I imagine Glitch might be the main suggested deployment target, but I’ll write up the Replit instructions at some point, possibly on the wiki rather than adding n+1 deployment targets to the README.

for the record, I don't necessarily want Glitch to be the primary deploy target, I just want one that results in instructions that are as simple as possible, and I knew Glitch best to understand the ergonomics of how to do things like have a functioning demo site + make the SQLite db not copy over on remix.

I don't know Replit super well, but I did read that they're going to be winding down their always-on tier. Do they still have a wake-on-request tier like Glitch's free version?
