This is starting to sound like that fantasy everybody not-quite-technical-enough has about how someday software will be just dragging and dropping little boxes on the screen, and everybody can do it! As it turns out, drag & drop doesn't seem to work too well for much of software development, but the idea of software being _really_ easy to develop and deploy seems to be coming to fruition. The best part is that it's coming from the geeks, not the guys who want LabVIEW, so I think it's actually going to, y'know, work well for geeks. Here's to Saasaas!

Am I the only one who tries to create a new app on heroku and it just hangs at creating it? I know it might be booting up an instance or something (?) so I've been patient for up to 15 minutes but nothing happens.
