# 2023 Update: Project Retired

This project was working perfectly well for us:

![email-working](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/194400/198866976-598add90-163f-43f2-9fea-8b472602c6f5.png)

Sadly, a _lot_ has changed in the 2 years
since we built & deployed the `email` project.
Heroku decided they would no longer have a "Free Tier"
so these _ultra-low_ overhead / volume apps (less than `2h` per month)
since we built & deployed it to `Heroku`.

to keep it running,
but they deleted our data
and deprecated our stack.
but they deleted our database
(that only had a couple of MBs):

So they are _forcing_ us to update _everything_.
This is super lame in software that was _working_ fine.

For the time being we are pausing development on this project.

If we find a use for it again in the future,
we will re-build it.

Thanks for your interest! ❤️
