Build and deploy very simple webapp allowing us to trigger translation pushes to github

[bent0b0x]

POEditor allows us to push translations to a github branch via a webhook. Members of the Paratii organization can also do this via the POEditor UI, but it would be great for translators to be able to push their translations to dev when they are complete.

To do this, we need to hit this webhook:

https://poeditor.com/api/webhooks/github?api_token=TOKEN&id_project=192597&language=pt-br&operation=export_terms_and_translations

My plan is to deploy a very very simple webapp on heroku free that basically just contains a button that can be clicked to trigger this request. It needs to be deployed because we cannot pass around the api token; we need to obfuscate it by proxying the request to a simple BE server.

Here it is: https://paratii-translations-ui.herokuapp.com/

Basics are working; I've shut the app down for now so that I can make the following changes:

• [ ] do not commit directly to dev
• [ ] commit instead to a translations branch
• [ ] open a PR (if none exists) every time we commit to said translations branch

OR

• [ ] just add github oauth to the app so that only we can pull

• request comes in
• create translations branch (if not exist)
• merge dev into branch
• create PR into dev

@bent0b0x how much work would it be to make the above flow work? I didn't get to see the app functioning.

Too much work, IMO 😄, and not worth the reward
