If you regularly want to build your custom NodeMCU firmware I suggest you give http://frightanic.com/nodemcu-custom-build/ a spin. You select the branch to build from, select the user modules to include (to reduce firmware size) and my service will build a firmware just for you.

Great idea. Trying it now.

I would suggest putting as much information as possible on the site.

Submitted my request. Received and email that it was started. 2 minutes later another email was received with 2 links for float and integer binaries.

Excellent work.

I have two suggestions. Include more information on the web site and include what was selected for compile in the completed email.

Thanks for your valuable feedback.

Include more information on the web site

Ok, like what? What were you missing?

include what was selected for compile in the completed email

Yes, definitely. I realized that many users commission several builds in quick succession and then won't have much clue as to what a particular binary contains when they get several success emails in quick succession.
For a moment I thought about letting users give their builds meaningful names but I believe just stating branch and selected modules in the success email is enough. Furthermore, the firmware filename should be something like '<branch>-<number-of-modules>-modules-[integer|float]-<hash>.bin' or so.
