Is the author asking why putting up a paywall for Django hosted on Heroku with Stripe integration on what should be static content is difficult (for stories related to overcoming idiosyncrasies in using Python for bioinformatics, or all things)? I'd like to give a rebuttal, but the site (the Minimal Errors theme for Jekyll?) does click-jacking (blocks copy/paste) so I won't bother. I guess the answer is right there: webdev (and bioinformatics) is full of incidental complexity and zero-sum "solutions" advertised to you when the original purpose of the web is just publishing structured documents via HTML/SGML (even though I'd agree Python is great for learning, and Heroku has at least a reputation for being the easiest cloud hosting option out there).

In general, Heroku has been a great platform. The fact that you can just `git push`, and your dyno rebuilds and restarts and your changes are live is so cool.
