I think this service should have one-click deploy to other Node.js platforms, at least Heroku, Beanstalk and Bluemix. I have a feeling that their concept would be most useful on ipad/mobile. But for that to be useful there needs to be very easy deployment options that work with my hosting of choice.

I mean, imagine finding a bug, being able to fix it on your phone, and deploying it immediately. If it works that way, I'm sold.

Also, if this is aimed towards frontend devs primarily, then it should be noted that it is unlikely that a frontend dev would struggle with writing JS on Node. They are more likely to dislike the deployment.

Deployment is the worst, for everybody. We're definitely excited about the possibilities there--done right, you could wire up your app in Treeline and set it live without your feet ever touching the ground (or muck, as it were.)

Deployment system relies on sails deploy- Microsoft actually just contributed an open source deploy strategy for azure and Heroku expressed interest in contributing to theirs. AWS has also been very helpful. Will keep everyone updated as things progress.
The one-click deploy to heroku button is in the works.
