Ummm, I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I need right now. Kudos. Currently our process is:

1) I mockup the design in Balsamiq

2) My designer creates the design in HTML/CSS and then pushes to git (using grunt/node/bower)

3) We screenshot and annotate using InvisionApp

4) repeat 3 and 4 until design looks good

If I understand correctly:

- This will load up my grunt server automatically based on the latest push to github

- I can then annotate that HTML/CSS front-end to my designer for feedback changes.

- No more screenshotting for me?!? This would be amazing.

Any chance you can integrate to Bitbucket? :)

EDIT: If so, please get in touch - happy to be your early evangelist and provide more feedback.

I can't tell you how happy this makes me. Let's talk!

To answer your questions:

"This will load up my grunt server automatically based on the latest push to github"

Almost - we'll serve the build directory that your gruntfile creates. We are thinking about running your grunt or gulp tasks for you, so that you don't have to commit your builds to git. I'd love to hear more about your setup and see what we can do to make it work.

"I can then annotate that HTML/CSS front-end to my designer for feedback changes."

Yes.

"No more screenshotting for me?!? This would be amazing."

Yup, that's the idea :)

"Any chance you can integrate to Bitbucket? :)"

We want to. Signup or email me at brendan@awesomebox.co and let's talk.

Just got off g-hangout with Brendan. A+ for customer development ;)

As soon as bitbucket comes on board we're customers. Good luck boys.
