A tech startup(probably the first of its kind) from the country of Himalayas. We build software, mobile and web apps. Find us at http://manaslutech.com/ or https://twitter.com/ManasluTech .
Yes, we are also experiencing difficulty in accessing https://api.heroku.com/login and git push to heroku. However, our web app is up and running.
Great picture! We are also a company based in Nepal where this picture is taken from. Our company name is after another peak - Manaslu, which is a 8th highest peak in the world. We do Ruby on Rails web development. http://www.manaslutech.com
Yes, heroku will be a good option as you don't have to worry about web server, db and other setup. If you are a one man team bootstrapping your startup or project, heroku will save you a lot of time. On top of that, you can start free and later on worry about paying and scaling. I recommend to use beanstalk for git private repository instead of github that only provides free public one.
i can't git push to heroku...
Looks like this is the reason I can't push to heroku either.
I missed for this year. I am surely going to hack next one!
We are startup seeking work from other startups to build Ruby on Rails and mobile( iOS + android ) applications. We also build MVP for a flat rate in 6-8 weeks. We are very competitive and focused on delivery. Take a look at us at http://manaslutech.com/ or shoot us an email at manaslutech@gmail.com.
