Hi, could you please describe the app situation: How many users does it have? Got any traction?, etc

There seem to be some details from 3 months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15051920

$60 heroku seems odd. I wonder why the app can't be transferred over to cheaper (or free if using trial credits) hosting on aws/gcp/do etc.
