Wow, I have to admit that I have not heard anyone in the past 2 years or so to be on Heroku so it makes sense. I think they handled it quite well knowing that there most likely have been a steady decline of users.
Generally I would avoid promoting myself but in this situation I think it fits the topic. I'm co-founder of a Platform-as-a-Service based in Europe named Ploi Cloud [0]. We focus on web applications working on NodeJS and PHP but would be open to other platforms if people need it. Heroku has always been a source of inspiration to me so if you are looking for an alternative and care about it having a strong European presence please check it out. (We do have a US location too!)
I'm part of a new hosting platform focusing on the European market, would you be open to discuss what you are looking for and see if we can become partners? Obviously no strings attached :) If so, please drop me an email [email protected]
Edit: Forgot to add my thought; I think you should be more clear about what Clink does compared to other software like Claude Code. The building demo's to me (a developer/devops person) are cool but my first thought was 'Why would I use this over Claude Code'? And only in this thread I saw the USP for Clink which makes perfect sense for non-techies!
I have a 13" Macbook Air, try to travel as much as possible. At home I have a single 27" 4k screen. Both at home and remote I work with just one screen so I'm able to keep my workflow exactly the same. Honestly, I think my productivity on my 13" does drop somewhat, but nowhere near the 50%. I would say I lose 10% of my productivity. For me that 10% is totally worth it to be able to work remotely and travel more.
