Upload a site to Orbiter in three commands

DX Engineer | Head of Developer Relations at /pinata | Building orbiter.host | stevedylan.dev/links

why "create" and not "deploy". i feel that verb aligns more with what i feel im doing through orbiter. sending ideas into the orbit, for the orbit to shape them back

A good question! I suppose it could be deploy as well, although I wanted to make clear distinctions between create and update. Might make deploy an alias 😎 appreciate the feedback!

i think deploy encompasses creating and updating. its like using upsert on prisma. you know it will do whatever of those things is necessary on the backend, and you can be sure that the core action will be to have the app be deployed. but idk. anyway i just installed it and this is amazing

I do like that idea, and it is feasible. Might be something we do for a v1.0.0 release, I want to put some more thought into the overall flow a user would have to go through, like if there’s an existing site this deployment is connected to, if it’s a new once, etc.

Always question what could be better no matter who is the leader :)

i would say not overthink it and just copy what vercel does. they are the leader. and if they do something it is because of something imo
