Deploy kwallet to production! #17 #12

Historically speaking, all the feedback we've received came from our internal / beta customers.

They're quite happy with the current state of the art, so now it's time to make kwallet publicly available!

That would imply we'll have a public URL access, so everybody around the world could check it.

Technical guidance:

We'll deploy our applications to the cloud using Heroku https://www.heroku.com

It's a very popular framework, with really nice docs and extensive community support.

On top of that, it's free for personal projects, with some limitations (e.g. apps tend to 'sleep', which means first time you access it after a period of inactivity, it'll take few seconds to respond).

Setup process will just take few minutes.

  1. Sign up on Heroku: https://signup.heroku.com/
  2. Follow the getting started guide until the Deploy the app step: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs

Hint: On the last step (Deploy the app) we'll create our app into the cloud. The default command the guide suggests is heroku create. As per described, it will create our app with a random name so we'd suggest to set an appropriate name straight away, e.g. heroku create your-app-name
