So I'm learning Rails myself and I'm nervous about the whole deploy to Heroku part / the cost of hosting a small app. Did you have to buy additional Dynos to handle the traffic from HN? $35 for an additional Dyno isn't the end of the world, but shared hosting for $5 a month at railsplayground is a whole lot cheaper for a humble junior developer like me.
The site looks great! Congrats on your first app launch!
nope, haven't paid for anything yet. I'm excited to see how much traffic HN actually brought. Looks like close to 10,000 votes have been registered in a few short hours, but waiting for Google Analytics to catch up to see more.
No, the parent poster is just playing on the title. When taken literally the answer to "how to build a new Rails app is", "run `rails new appname`". ta-dum-tsss
