I'm wondering if one could somehow run a pod through the free Heroku hosting thing.
I'm wondering so much that I'll probably give it a try and than report back from said pod if it really ends up working by any chance. 😏

"Push rejected, failed to compile Go app."
I guess no free pod hosting today. 😟

@thecanine Wait... Don't give up so easily 😂 What does Heroku need? I haven't used it before -- I don't like using Cloud "things" 😅

@prologic I don't know to be honest, I never ran anything on it before. I usually use Glitch.com to run my web apps. I wanted to try starting a pod there, but Glitch currently has to hibernate apps that aren't being used, at least unless you pay them to keep it up 24/7 so I thought that would make it not very usable for pod hosting, even if it by some miracle supported Go, which it probably doesn't. 🤔

Actually there is no requirement that a pod be up 24/7. In fact the network is quite tolerable of this really. As evidenced by various pods going offline and coming back online at various times. It actually doesn't make a lick of difference to the user experience as users don't see this happening really.
