I 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 And the console keeps giving me a disconnection message: http://d.pr/1vVq but I think that might be because it's a Cedar stack app...?

Releases 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.

Ah 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.

If it's a django app then it will. Just use the run command, see http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django#using_the_django...

The 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.

If 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.

It'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.

I use Doppler now. http://dopplerapp.com What is better about Nezumi?

Take a minute to actually look at the nezumiapp.com site. It definitely supports a lot more, and is constantly updated.

I 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.
