But the reason to publish one’s work as a webapp is not because it’ll be super popular or even useful to tons of people. The reason is that it’s one of the (potentially) easiest ways to grant people…

Yea, what they did there is perrrrrrfect. I replied with some perspective about the gap between what most researchers know about webapps and what you’d need to know to follow their lead.

I think it you rolled up your sleeves you’ll see it’s not as difficult as it sounds. The step by step directions in the README will get it up and running on your computer. Deploying to Heroku is from Heroku’s tutorial. From there, it could be “learning / programming by tweaking”. It shouldn’t take m…

Oops, it was you all along! Thanks again for the awesome work. See, I would love to roll up my sleeves and try it out. But even in your optimistic and encouraging message I could read between the lines that it might be a bit over my head. I believe that you guys took the idea of a (mostly) Julia we…
