How can I pay you for this?

Note — I know many might disagree, because of very valid points, but for me personally, deployment is a nightmare. I really have no clue how that works. I didn't know SQLite3 (being file-based) needed special permissions on the .db file to be able to avoid an OSError, and the folder containing the file needed other permissions. The whole absolute-path-in-server-but-relative-will-work-locally, blah blah — This is really a irritating business for me.

Deployment ideally should be like —

$ sometool deploy myAwesomeApp

$ Enter <some-sort-of-username-for-server> — myServer

$ Enter <some-sort-of-password-or pem key location> — ••••••••••

$ Deploying...done!

$ Your app is live on YOUR-SERVER-IP

Too far off for many. Many might hate it, but trust me I personally know atleast 50 other developers who would benefit from a setup like this. Mostly people learning how to code, who just want to put their simple apps out there.
