Nezumi: iPhone app to manage your Heroku apps on the go
- angerman 15y agoLooks really nice. But $9.99 is a little pricy. Then again I'm use heroku only lightly.
- rossbeale 15y agoAgreed. 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.
- Aqua_Geek 15y agoThe 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.
- freerobby 15y agoIf 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.
- Aqua_Geek 15y agoIt'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.
- adelevie 15y agoDisagree. If this makes a DevOps person's on-call experience slightly less unpleasant, $10 is a steal.
- jaxn 15y agoI use Doppler now. http://dopplerapp.com http://dopplerapp.com What is better about Nezumi?
- hopeless 15y agoIt actually works. Doppler had problems with the new Cedar stack when I was using it.
- mwhuss 15y agoNezumi 2 fully supports the cedar stack.
- djbrowning 15y agoTake a minute to actually look at the nezumiapp.com site. It definitely supports a lot more, and is constantly updated.
- jaxn 15y agoI use Doppler on my iPhone and my iPad to do things like run rake tasks, view logs, and use the console. My only complaint with Doppler has been that it doesn't recognize newly added rake tasks.
- AznHisoka 15y agoNice, is there one for EngineYard?
- __abc 15y agoLOVE IT!
- __abc 15y agoNow, I need something as good as this for New Relic :)
- mwhuss 15y agoHere's some promo codes for a lucky few: XWKNW77ANWR9 | LFJ36LPEEPKT | 3H39EJY47TM3
- smickie 15y agoSuperb. Will it be regularly updated? One thing I'd add is to the app overview page, add a quick overview of the processes going on. You have to go pretty deep to look at the number of workers/dynos. It runs really smoothly, best heroku UI for the iPhone if you ask me.
- freerobby 15y agoI've been using it for almost two years, so yes, it is maintained :)
- mmack 15y agoI'm using it since 5 weeks or so. And believe me: It saved me several times. The ability to reboot your workers from, lets say, a restaurant is gorgeous.
- zbuc 15y agoI just bought it but was disappointed that there isn't an iPad optimized version. Are there plans to add that? EDIT: oh, yes there are. Please don't charge a second time ;) EDIT: Also, "releases" page isn't sorted properly -- http://d.pr/hA5K http://d.pr/hA5K And the console keeps giving me a disconnection message: http://d.pr/1vVq http://d.pr/1vVq but I think that might be because it's a Cedar stack app...?
- mwhuss 15y agoReleases will be fixed in 2.1 (awaiting app store review right now). Cedar console is supported. The console basically runs `bundle exec rails console`. Is the app you're running console on a rails app? If it's not a rails app you will need to use the run command to run your platform specific console command.
- zbuc 15y agoAh that explains it, it's a Python app. Would be cool to get into an interactive Python shell but I'm not sure if Heroku supports that.
- mwhuss 15y agoIf it's a django app then it will. Just use the run command, see http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django#using_the_django_shell http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django#using_the_django...
