A comment on Walkway.js.

The current link does not work for me (Firefox 36.0a1 on Debian). The correct content seems to be here: http://connor-personal.herokuapp.com/walkway

Why doesn't it work? I imagine it's this funky DNS config:

  sergio@sergio-laptop:~ > dig www.connoratherton.com

  ;; QUESTION SECTION:
  ;www.connoratherton.com.		IN	A

  ;; ANSWER SECTION:
  www.connoratherton.com.	3529	IN	CNAME	http://connor-personal.herokuapp.com.
  http://connor-personal.herokuapp.com. 229 IN CNAME us-east-1-a.route.herokuapp.com.
  us-east-1-a.route.herokuapp.com. 55 IN	A	50.19.235.218
This is not valid CNAME content. Does this work on some browsers???

Switched to Google domains a few days ago, still configuring it properly. Thanks for letting me know about the link, looking into it.

Trying to configure DNS settings for herokuapp.com isn't going to work, given that it isn't, you know, actually your domain to configure.

What you should have is something like

  connoratherton.com     A     54.221.226.116
  www.connoratherton.com CNAME connor-personal.herokuapp.com
Alternately, if your domain registrar supports ANAME or ALIAS, you should have, respectively,

  connoratherton.com     ANAME connor-personal.herokuapp.com
  www.connoratherton.com CNAME connor-personal.herokuapp.com
or

  connoratherton.com     ALIAS connor-personal.herokuapp.com
  www.connoratherton.com CNAME connor-personal.herokuapp.com

I bet you could do this pretty effectively with GitHub pages instead of a full blown Heroku app.

Do you happen to have any extra invites for Google domains?
