Feature: Publish to heroku (or similar) and implement continuous deployment

[asfaltboy]

Personally I'd love to have the latest updated data available publicly in a nice web interface with a map, a feature which already works; instead of deploying a rails app locally. Did anyone already put this up somewhere, if so let's add link to README / project description; otherwise, see below:

We'd have to start with a simple app and add any deployment info (to README) and required setting files to the repo.

There are a couple of "all-in-one" tools to streamline the CD pipeline:

• Codeship
• Snap
• Travis
• Circle CI

This is just an idea of course, please comment if you're for or against.

Great idea @asfaltboy. Would you recommend any good tutorials/blog posts for any of the continuous deployment tools you mentioned? I'd love to follow along/learn something new.

Heroku and codeship seem a simple option:

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/codeship

It has a simple add-on for Heroku and is quite easy to set up.

I'm so into this idea—I'm tired of running that Ruby file like some kind of animal every time I add something to a Markdown file.
