How to deploy a Biff app [video]

This is a video demonstration of the deploy instructions. I create a new Biff application and deploy it to a virtual machine ("droplet") on DigitalOcean. I'm planning to add instructions + code for container-based deployments soon (though for solo developers I think virtual machines tend to be ideal anyway, which is why they're the recommended path).
