The were widespread known in bulgaria in the 80´, and we even got "Понедельник начинается в субботу" in russian classes at this time.


Just curious. Where/who is the proposed domain hoster? Any technical data could also be useful. I see the point in doing the creation as simple as possible, i would like at least to know, bevore i register anything, who i am going to pay and what i pay for. Maby i just overlook it..


Sure! Your site is hosted by ClaimYourName, which is hosted on Heroku. The domain is purchased through Namecheap, and we use its API to configure the domain's zone file to point to your site hosted on ClaimYourName.

The $10.99/year charge is pretty much exactly the cost Namecheap charges us for the 1 year domain registration. We just pass this cost directly on to you. The $6.99/month is "our" charge for a subscription and hosting your site.


Does your setup solve the awkwardness with configuring the root domain at http://example.com to point to Heroku?

Does the hosting autoscale or is it a basic one dyno (or share of a limited number of dynos) setup?


Nope! Customers don't have to do any setup. All of it is handled automatically. We use Namecheap's API to forward your root domain to www, and then point your www CNAME to a subdomain on claimyourname. That configuration tells the app which site to serve up.


So it doesn't support root domains? Using a root domain on Herkou requires configuring some non-standard record (I think it is ANAME).

It's something that annoyed me about Heroku because a lot of people prefer the non-www version of their domain as canonical these days.


How are you handling the Namecheap API's requirement of an IP address whitelist?


Good question! I set up a microservice hosted on a static IP that talks to my Heroku app. If you're trying to do the same and want some help let me know!


well, for a storry, covered in times, buzzfeed, cnn, herald, huffingtonpost, vox.. countles other, and even on the christianpost, i guess its not that surprising.


Nice one! I really enjoyed it. Works pretty good on Opera.


Thanks! Glad to hear it. I tried for cross-compatibility as much as possible.


Thanks for the note. Had noticed that Bahir promotet his MCnext server, but did not know about this.


At my place, all the non-technical people rush out and buy new overpriced computer with win7. Only one of my neighbors decided to let me show him linux. The lokal store dont care, they are very happy to sell some old intel i3 prozessor, Onboard-graphics, and windows 7 for €800+


I have just tried this with new email and linkedin account with the intention to see my own linkedin mail. At least it does not work with the last firefox and linux mint here


funny enough, they have not even written their own FAQ or manuals with this font


hey lessmilk,

I liked the games, actualy played longer then i intendet the #6 :=) The Gameplay Mixing Board was used for the ingame music in the last one. Is this a free musik then, or did you just asked the autor to use it?


I can hardly understand anything, so here is a transcript -
