Preview website in pull request

[johnjohndoe]

While looking at the latest pull requests I was missing a preview 👀 of the website to comfortable look at.
I would love to have this as part of the pull request verification.

As an example we could use Netlify which I use for Wo ist Markt? thanks to @k-nut. For each pull request Netlify automatically deploys the website to a temporary URL which shows up in the pull request as indicated in this screenshot.

This is a good idea. How much work is required to set it up and maintain it?

In the past I used the site created for my fork to preview changes in my PR. For example, here's what I did for #235 . I had to manually edit the _config.yml to use my fork. That's not as seamless as what you described but maybe a clever solution exists.

There is not too much to do for it. Basically, we could start with applying here: https://opensource-form.netlify.app/. Which email address should we use for the form?
This requires us to put a license on the project which is a good idea anyway. Which license are we going with @ligi?

I would say something like CC0 - but no strong opinion on this - what does the rest think about it?

+11 for CC0

If I understand correctly then Netlify allows to create one free team project per account. I have used up the team for my account/email address. Which email address do we want to use or does anyone want to register at Netlify with their email address?

maybe info@berlinhackandtell.rocks ? Would love to not register with netlify

[johnjohndoe]

Who is control of the mail address?

AFAIK @stefanhoth

I'll have a look. I've used netlify for my personal website as well. It's rather easy to setup.

@stefanhoth Were you able to make some progress on this so far? It is any way we could assist you?
