Heroku: Announcing the Add-on Provider Program

Free idea here. Create an add-on that monitors your load and tells you when you've probably got too many workers and dynos.<p>Credit goes to the guy who got stuck with the $1300 Heroku bill... he inspired this idea.<p>link: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1688904" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1688904</a>

Is anyone else stunned at how thorough and complete the documentation and support materials are for this launch?<p>I was blown away. Great job guys!

I'm waiting for the recursive add-on: Someone creates an add-on, hosts it on Heroku and then enables the add-on in the add-on app.

I didn't see (from a quick reading of the docs) how developers get paid: via Heroku, or a direct charge to end users?

I'm kind of disappointed at the "neutral marketplace" philosophy. I'd prefer a "curated marketplace" where the Herokuans could be opinionated about what works best (in general, and with Heroku). Metrics are great but I actually value the opinion of the people who built and run Heroku more. (Of course their opinion could be a metric, but it didn't sound like it in the announcement.)

Notifo definitely needs to get on this..
