Heroku - Simultaneously Develop and Deploy Automatically Scalable Rails Applications in the Cloud (opens in new tab)

Am I the only one who tries to create a new app on heroku and it just hangs at creating it? I know it might be booting up an instance or something (?) so I've been patient for up to 15 minutes but nothing happens.

This is starting to sound like that fantasy everybody not-quite-technical-enough has about how someday software will be just dragging and dropping little boxes on the screen, and everybody can do it! As it turns out, drag & drop doesn't seem to work too well for much of software development, but the idea of software being _really_ easy to develop and deploy seems to be coming to fruition. The best part is that it's coming from the geeks, not the guys who want LabVIEW, so I think it's actually going to, y'know, work well for geeks. Here's to Saasaas!
