Just moved off my 8 years old project google-webfonts-helper https://github.com/majodev/google-webfonts-helper https://github.com/majodev/google-webfonts-helper from their free tier to my own private infra and replaced the current dyno with a 301 handler: https://github.com/kenmickles/heroku-redirect https://github.com/kenmickles/heroku-redirect
AFAIK sadly Heroku does not provide some other _free_ permanent redirect option for their *.herokuapp.com sub-domains without actually running a dyno there.
- mzur 4y agoThank you so much for google-webfonts-helper! It's been helping me a lot recently ever since there was this questionable court decision in Germany that using fonts directly from Google violates the privacy regulation and website owners were sued all over the place.
- maltris 4y agoYou havent by any chance been sued by some weird lawyer from a german capital whose name pops up all over google on researching this in the name of a person that does not really seem to exist? They are fraudulently trying to trick people in paying ~170 euro without any clear statement on what is their claim. Dont fall for it.
- mzur 4y agoI haven't been sued personally but some of my clients were. I told everyone to ignore it but had to update their websites nonetheless.
- asddubs 4y agoThat's good to hear, I was thinking about whether google fonts helper would survive this. Awesome project by the way, I've used it a lot, thanks for making it!
- kenmickles 4y agoI use your webfonts helper all the time! Cool to see the tiny redirect app I published 10 years ago used to keep my bookmark working.
