I was one of the 20 who had to email you but you reacted so quickly I don't think this will hurt much in the long run.

Probably like most people, I had a specific idea for how to use Firesize so when finally taking action it would have been SOP to check back with you again.

In fact, great job in showing agility with the classic startup skill: action -> mistake -> admit/recognize -> improve

    Really appreciate it WhitneyLand. Thanks again for reaching out in the first place :+1:

Just to provide another explanation. I visited the firesize page and had no idea I was supposed to signup at all to use it. The example provides a way to append any URL to firesize.com, I assumed that was how it was used. What is the advantage of the Heroku signup?

  • vansteeOP 11 years ago

    Oh gotcha. Yeah that's mainly for testing, but would be slow to use in practice since it's not behind a CDN. We'll probably start throttling that one, only for use on the homepage, but feel free to signup and use your own account for free.

    Yes definitely, that's the first thing I tried. Those examples on the home page should work and be interactive or hackable URLs.

    Don't care about CDN performance in playground mode.
