Are these all official heroku add-ons? I didn't find a way to suggest an addition to the list. So here it is: http://wekkars.com Not really an heroku addition, but a service to keep your website responsive. (disclaimer: I'm involved in Wekkars)

You really only need that on the free tier, when 2+ web workers are used 1 at least is always kept around to respond quickly.

All I want is a simple single column list of addons. For instance, the official page has a weird two column thing going on which makes it hard to parse mentally when you're quickly trying to find a specific add-on.

This new attempt doesn't seem to fix my biggest gripe with the whole system (and in the grand scale of things, that's a pretty small gripe)

Nice try, but you've only copied their design, removed the polish and added a bunch of unnecessary bollocks to the thing.

Also, people need to read the content, hence their visit to the site. If you're going to insist on using a dark background, at least make the text as bright as possible and remove the text shadow.

Its not looking too swell my end http://cl.ly/FRWh

Sorry about that, seems like I'm having heroku/rails asset pipeline issues. Sure doesn't help get my point across.

Why don't you add a thanks to Heroku for hosting their images for you?
