This coming week, there’s something vaguely time-sensitive on the horizon! Heroku is changing how they handle DNS registration for custom domains, which means I need to send out a bunch of relatively urgent (“take this action by July 31st…”) comms to everyone using custom domains. I’ll also use it as an opportunity to tweak how I’m handling the Heroku flow, since it relies on a couple bad assumptions (that get invalidated after this Heroku change) and is flaky in a painful way. So that (plus Roadmap V2, as aforementioned) should be on the ship list this week: though it’s going to be a long weekend and the start of a new month, which means I’ll be a little more spread thin than usual.

Hey, I did both of these things!

First, the Heroku changes. These were largely boring and good; I got to clean up some tech debt and improve the custom domain onboarding interface as I built it out, which is always nice. Exogenous event as impetus for tech debt pay down is rare, but I have to celebrate it when it happens.
