Would love to see the API support a POST for creating a new build and passing in the project code (or slug url). This would enable the other git providers (Gitlab, BitBucket, Gogs, etc) and 3rd party services/frameworks (e.g. Factor.io) to provide the integration.

We do have an API that supports triggering builds with a POST request, passing in custom parameters, etc. The bigger issue is that we strive for a really rich integration between us and GitHub. For example, we support their status API, link back to PRs/commits from our build page, etc. It's a lot more than just triggering builds.

We do have support for other services planned, but we are focused on the GitHub experience for now.
