Alternative free housing since Heroku free was discounted?

Thanks for this! It's cool and I used it for a while to support a bugout based p2p game side project. It worked great, and it's hard to beat the convenience of one click, but I put the project down for a while and when I came back, Heroku free was no more.

Any pointers to other free / easy hosting are appreciated!

You might be able to use glitch -- there's a link for a one-click spin up in the readme Remix on Glitch. However, the downside there is that the server gets suspended after a while. I believe it's related to whether or not you have a browser tab for the server open/active in the Glitch browser console.

You might be interested in the p2p projects I'm working on. The first issimilar to Bugout Easypeers. And its non-webtorrent cousin Easypeers-signal. Easypeers uses a webtorrent extension like Bugout, whereas Easypeers-signal is a standalone p2p stack that is independent of any other tech. Both are a work in progress but minimally viable at present.

@bagrounds Found an alternative to Heroku: https://render.com/. It has similar limitations to Heroku for the free tier.
