Real useful when you wanted to know when your huge download has finished.

Future ideas:

- Disable sleep until finished. - Remote turn off - Keyboard shortcuts

so much awesome. though not entirely sure on the legalities.

I was personally impressed by the all javascript full screen mode.

very well done. I like the mini demo too.

Where do you see a revenue stream?

Agreed. I got the app free through a promo code and it's not with $9.99. At most, $5.

I can see what the developer is doing, targeting a niche market of developers - but when there are cheaper alternatives I think the price still has to remain competitive.

The problem with targeting a niche market of developers is that you have to overcome the "I could just build this myself" syndrome - whether that's through pricing, ease-of-use, etc.

If you can build a full-featured Heroku Management app for $10 worth of your time, then please email me because I want to hire you.

It's more than just the $10, though.

I'm, admittedly, a miser when it comes to paying for apps - I've only bought a small few. Consequently, I weigh the decision to drop $10 on an app pretty heavily.

Beyond that, I have very much a "learner" personality. I've created many an app just to play around with something new. I've yet to build anything that interacts with the Heroku API, so creating an app that does so allures me. The joy of learning and experimenting outweighs what my time is theoretically worth.

Granted, this is just how I see things. Others probably have very different valuations of the app vs their time. I agree that my previous argument isn't really valid from a purely "I'll build it so I don't have to pay for it" perspective.

Similar, also possibly like http://hainbit.com

This would depend highly on where you are based (i.e. US?)

is this site, yours?

site seems very basic but does what it says on the tin. Needs traction to work though...

same here.

Good idea, a little smoothing around the edges and it can go far.

I take the comments aboard about the homepage!

Phonegap makes it easy to develop platform specific functions, not just exploiting deploying on many platforms. This app makes sharing via Twitter easier, using the built in (iOS only) Twitter API to submit photos instantly after you snap them.
