A while ago it was announced that Heroku (archive.org) would be changing its price structure, after a few minutes with a calculator I worked out that it’ll be essentially better for my bigger apps, and not so much for the small stuff I run. At the time I forgot about the NextAction app (archive.org) i’ve been running for a very long time to manage my Todoist (archive.org) instance. For what the application does and how it runs it’s not worth the $7 to host on a full Heroku instance…

So with this in mind I put a few hours into the tool today, it now has a proper setup.py and a basic CLI interface, just enough to get it running on my VM host without much issue or changes.

If you’re interested in my branch of the tool, check it out on Github (archive.org).
