What was the journey like from coming up with the idea to finally getting it out to the public? @rauchg @evilrabbit_

@rauchg @evilrabbit_ Hi @abadesi! We believe that to build a great product you have to actively use it yourself, and it's true. We use Now to build and deploy all of our own apps which gives us a great advantage to get inside the mind of our users since we _are_ our own users πŸ˜„ From using Now and listening to feedback, we concluded that our users wanted an easier way to get the links to their deployments in a very active GitHub workflow, so we came up with Now for GitHub! We've been testing it for a while with our own apps, and believe it's ready to go to our current and hopefully new users to really enhance that GitHub workflow. βœ¨πŸŽ‰ Perhaps @arunoda or @rauchg can expand on this more!

@abadesi Let me answer briefly. We had a GitHub integration for our docs repository https://github.com/zeit/docs from the very beginning. With that we can see changes made in the PR without running our docs app locally. Then anyone in the team can review the app and take the PR. It’s a hacky version which just work for that repo. This is the production version of that for anyone who uses GitHub. Also we are using GitHub apps, so you can just install the app on an organization or even on individual repos. So, users have more control.
