any idea why the domain shows up as heroku? :S

  It always grabs the last part of the domain. Its just a quick app hosted on heroku, so all foo.heroku.com stuff will show up on here as heroku.com. Happens with google.com, etc too.

    Heroku isn't part of the domain though (ahmetalpbalkan.com)

      It's a redirect to that domain.

        Sure, but why not just post your real domain then. This is bizarre.

        Why does HN even allow redirect URLs to be submitted?

    On the front page right now there's instagram-engineering.tumblr.com, erratasec.blogspot.com and tech.blog.cueup.com. It seems to be a based on a domain whitelist. Heroku should definitely be on it. Personally I'd just show the whole hostname and maybe prune a few common subdomains like "www.", "www2." or "blog."

      Definitely, I would be surprised if this post would get to the top otherwise. A vague title with the heroku domain has probably attracted a lot of clicks.

  The link goes to the Heroku subdomain, which redirects to his actual domain. This is aslo not a part of the Svbtle network, for what it's worth.
