Who did the heroku version of HN button?

I wrote the initial version as well as have a full button you can embed:

There's much more coming and soon will be a much more detailed writeup on it for the HN community. Would love to hear how you discovered it.

Someone had it on his blog, which was posted here, so I've copied the code. I prefer your design than the hnlike.com.

I wrote this because the iframe gives me an error:

GET http://hnapiwrapper.herokuapp.com/static/button.js 404 (NOT FOUND)

Here is how I use it (I bypass the script that generates iframe; I put the iframe myself):

http://hnpickup.appspot.com/

Thanks

Great to hear and glad you found it. Once I get around to cleaning it up and writing some documentation around it I'll likely open source it as well as some other tools, so any changes you want to push to it would be welcome.

Thanks. My github handle is entaroadun. The iframe's html line 10 says src="/static/button.js" while it should be src="/static/js/button.js"

BTW, there is an odd feature on HN: it's possible to post same URL after ~19 days as new story. This will cause unintended consequences for all HN buttons. While investigating this issue I found that one can upvote his own story by re-posting it. I guess some variable gets removed/reset on HN servers I just couldn't figure out what but I'm couple hacks behind.

Would you mind sharing what are you testing here?
