Yeah, Docker makes it pretty easy to launch containers but we’re aiming for this to be used as a quicker way to share early iterations and not as a way to host apps indefinitely. As an example, someone could attach an Anvil link to a pull request on GitHub to demo their updates so people could see changes without needing to download, build, and serve the code. You can use Heroku servers, but there would be some deployment work on your end for sharing multiple variants of multiple demos simultaneously.
Assembly (the place to crowd create a startup) wrote this blog post (http://blog.assembly.com/tools http://blog.assembly.com/tools) where they share a lot of the tools they use for sharing product updates with each other. Anvil requires no work on the user’s part to create a walkthrough, and allows whoever they send their branch to to be able to interact with the demo for themselves.
Do you think it would be convenient to use Anvil when sharing your updates?
