This guide is for people who want to run RSS Bridge on Heroku.

You can run it on Heroku for free, however make sure your RSS reader interval is not set to a fast rate, otherwise your Heroku hours will use up quicker. Heroku puts the app to sleep after 30 mins of no activity. When the app is asleep no Heroku hours are used. So choose an interval that won't make the app exceed the limit!

You can increase your Heroku hours to 1000 a month from 550 a month by simply verifying your account with a credit card.
