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.

It looks fine to me and is as readable as the text on heroku itself
Not exactly a paragon a legibility.
If you're going to pick a dark background, choose a color for the text that will actually contrast and be legible for the widest audience possible, not a shadowed, slightly lighter version of the background.
In essence, this "alternative" does absolutely nothing to improve upon Heroku's version. It's also worse.

My point has nothing to do with background color and legibility ; the design is an unmodified Bootswatch theme ( http://bootswatch.com/ ). The point is about features ; the current listing on Heroku contains 78 addons. You have to read each name and short description to possibly find what you are looking for and once you have found the 2 or 3 matching options you have no way to know what people think of them. Hence s…
If you build something that people can't use, you've wasted your time. That search box on the left is useless unless someone a) understands how Heroku works and b) knows what they're looking for in the first place. Reviews? Ratings? I guess they work for Hotscripts.
Heroku add-ons are for people who already understand the architecture of their app, not necessarily some guy looking to add something on for the sake of it, hence the obvious pricing. You have to know the audience.
