Evening. I know appveyor allows for automatic building through its own hooks, but is there a way to have github respond to those hooks, similar to travis? I'd like for a failed build in appveyor to tell github that the build was not successful.

So for example in an angularjs app where the app only wishes to authenticate the user, is it the clientside angularjs that should generate the nonce word, or should a call to a backend api be made, and stored
