• Put example in branch and stripped down boilerplate on master
• Prettify output
• Fix .gitignore issues
• Consider BrowserSync over Livereload
• Better gulp tasks and deployer task
• Better CLI control and options
• Use better file copier for examples (to prevent entire project copies)
• Add heroku info to env
• Add heroku configs
• Consider multiple deploy options in gulp i.e. heroku, github, etc
