npub1y4s7hjcxn9e2dxakrl98taqevp8vk9fn4axpkejqcuvackcg7f6sgnvgt8 (npub1y4s…vgt8) The Heroku rug-pull is that if you created a project on Heroku 10 years ago, on the basis that it was free (albeit scale-to-zero) and hence a safe place to leave something online, they changed their pricing model in a way that subverted that trust you placed in them
A bunch of newsrooms did exactly that, because newsrooms don't have the budget to keep a little interactive they built for a story running forever even if it only costs a few dollars a year
