Was pretty surprised that it cost you almost 250$ for a month to run this. Perhaps you could have tried hosting elsewhere. For eg. this would be easily acoomodated in AWS free tier I think. Could have given you a longer runway to iterate. Anyway, cool idea. Few hundred visitors a day is not bad!

I'm pretty surprised as well. It's basically a simple CRUD app. I think that a single digital ocean box could have done the trick.

I get a "Secure Connection Failed" on Firefox/Chrome when trying to access the userium.com website: SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

Especially when the website does not work (I have an SSL error, see my other reply above).

#8Here's another checklist style app, only built on PHP AppEngine. So far there hasn't been enough traffic though to make a reasonable estimate of cost.

It's no longer live on that domain. I should have maybe titled my post 'post-mortem of a side project'? :)
The checklist is nowadays here: https://stayintech.com/info/UX and the Wayback machine holds a copy of the old website.

True, I should have perhaps looked at cheaper options. Dynos were cheaper on most months, that example was the 'worst' month. The wildcard SSL certificate for subdomains was a bit expensive.
