Pull Request: Add 'Deploy with Vercel' Button to README

Motivation

To simplify the deployment process and make our marketplace app more accessible, we've added a 'Deploy with Vercel' button to the README. This allows users to deploy the app for free with just a GitHub and Vercel account. Our goal is to streamline onboarding and encourage more users to experience the app without complex setup procedures.

Implementation

• Added 'Deploy with Vercel' Button: Inserted a markdown snippet in the README.md file that includes a 'Deploy with Vercel' button.

  [![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/import/project?template=https://github.com/andromedaprotocol/embeddable-marketplace-demo.git)

  • Functionality: When clicked, this button redirects users to Vercel's import page, preconfigured with our GitHub repository as the template. This enables a seamless, one-click deployment process.
  • Placement: Positioned the button prominently under the 'Getting Started' section to ensure visibility.

• README Enhancements:

  • Updated instructions to guide users on deploying the app using the new button.
  • Added a brief explanation of the benefits of deploying via Vercel.

Testing

• Local Testing:

  • Verified the button's functionality by clicking it within the local README.md preview and ensuring it directs to the correct Vercel import page.
  • Confirmed that the deployment process initializes correctly on Vercel, with the repository importing as expected.

• Deployment Verification:

  • Successfully deployed the app to Vercel using the button to ensure end-to-end functionality.
  • Tested the live application to confirm it operates identically to local deployments.

• Version Control:

  • No version change was necessary as this update pertains to documentation and does not affect the application's codebase or functionality.

Future Work

• Add 'Deploy with Replit' Button:

  • Plan to incorporate a similar deployment option using Replit to provide users with alternative hosting solutions.
  • This will further lower the barrier for users who prefer or already use Replit.

• Investigate Vercel v0 Integration:

  • Explore implementing Vercel v0's new 'codebase import' functionality to enhance our front-end development workflow.
  • Aim to leverage AI-assisted coding features to improve efficiency and code quality.

Notes

• User Experience Improvement:

  • This addition significantly improves the user experience by reducing setup time and complexity.
  • Encourages more users to try out the marketplace app, potentially increasing adoption and feedback.

• Documentation Clarity:

  • Enhancements to the README aim to provide clear, concise instructions, making the onboarding process as smooth as possible.
  • Future updates will continue to refine documentation based on user feedback.
