        <em>Reviewed September 6, 2019</em>

        <h2 id="onboarding">Amazing onboarding</h2>
        <p>You create your account via the command line! You don't even create a password; it's login via email every time. I am a sucker for these little touches, such how they autocomplete @gmail.com.</p>

        <h2 id="cli">Everything from the CLI</h2>
        <p>Every ZEIT deployment creates a free, permanent (immutable) URL under ZEIT's subdomain. But you can also alias to domains you own or even buy a domain from ZEIT right from the CLI! (You can also add your credit card via the command line!)</p>

        <h2 id="monorepo">Monorepo Support</h2>
        <p>ZEIT combines the simplicity of a monorepo with the flexibility of independent services. You can mix various programming languages and static files all in the same repo as shown below. Without configuration, ZEIT automatically detects how to handle each file and builds them in parallel.</p>

        <h2 id="share">Share code</h2>
        <p>ZEIT makes it incredibly easy to share both a running version of your app and its code -- even without setting up a online git repo. Simply adding <code>/_src</code> after a URL will pull up its source. You can share a specific line range of code by highlighting it and sharing the resultant URL as done in the following video:</p>

        <p>All of my past wishes were granted:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Auto-aliasing from merged Github pull requests</li>
          <li>Add-ons, like Heroku: databases, logs, etc</li>
