I think we’d have to set up an etherpad webhook to immediately trigger a rebuild on edits. That would allow for builds to start immediately, but you’d still have to wait for the build to complete for the change to be live. So beyond that we’d need to work on optimizing build time if that’s a priority.
I wouldn't want it to happen immediately on edits. There should be an explicit button to press somewhere to have it update the post / redeploy. And doing that at render.com is only mildly inconvenient. This gissue is more about how long it takes from hitting Manual Deploy until the changes are actually live.
So probably not worth the work of optimizing build time unless we have some epiphany for getting a lot of bang for buck.
Finding a more convenient way to hit the Redeploy button than going to render.com would still be nice, and maybe we'll think of something easy there? Adding a button to etherpad itself would be super slick. I could maybe set that up if we could have a POST request to a some URL trigger a redeploy?

Just in case we have ideas to improve this.
If I fix a quick typo, for example, my understanding is I have to go to render.com, click Manual Deploy, and wait ... many minutes? for it to rebuild everything from scratch?
