While I had no experience in web programming, I had a web app idea which I wanted to realize in the course of <a href="https://kokimame.github.io/joytan/">my language-teaching project</a>. And I just deployed my first Django project on Heroku with a free account. So far, it works well. Although it sometimes takes a few seconds to reach the website, this doesn't matter much for my grab-and-go website. Above all, I'm totally amazed by how easy it is to update the web app and to deploy to all the platforms compared to the desktop app development I've worked on.</p> <p>The problem is I don't fully understand many aspects of the Heroku platform, e.g., I'm still letting <code>DEBUG = True</code> while tutorials say I shouldn't. Also, I want to see how good web application can be made with the limitation of the free tier. So, let me know if there're some interesting websites working on the free Heroku cloud which hopefully are hosted on GitHub.</p> <p>My website is <a href="https://jkanji.herokuapp.com/">here</a>.
