Today we shipped Github Oauth signup for Sherpa.sh. Is it going to "change the world"? Of course not.

But we are obsessed with making deployments as easy as humanly possible for developers. So even small steps like this, add up to delightful experience over time.

At sherpa.sh we give you unlimited projects and deployments for $9.99. That's less than a 1 CPU, 2GB droplet on Digital Ocean.

Yet, I'm still giving discounts to students and startups. Some people might think this is dumb. I think this is good business.
