I'm not a paying customer of or affiliated with Surge—just a happy user.<p>Surge is what I've always wanted to when I do frontend development for fun and learning. This is especially true if you're new. When you're new, you don't want to set up a server to push to Heroku or Digital Ocean, you may not want to use GitHub pages, or other alternatives (not aware of all, just the ones I mentioned). You may still be new to git and git-based deployments.<p>Surge is simple: `surge -p build` will upload the `build` directory and give you a nice HTTPS URL to share with your friends. `surge` does the same with the current directory. You can pick a URL under their domain or use one you own. It all takes a few seconds. Perfect for portfolios, demos, etc.<p>If you use npm you can `npm install --save-dev surge` and add a script that does your production build step and then calls surge to deploy it.<p>Very underrated service!
