Make a client

curl http://balanced-hangman.herokuapp.com

Hopefully you'll see something like

{
 "index": "/", 
 "me": "/me",

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

How to get Heroku to log full user_agent strings using nginx

Heroku's default logging format omits user agent and referrer strings - but these are useful to have! Especially if you want to be able to run your own analysis on what kind of browsers are using your service.

A default Heroku log line looks like this:

heroku/router:  at=info method=GET path="/page-on-your-site/"

host=your-site.herokuapp.com
