I love Heroku; I host several sites there, including my main personal
site (michaelhartl.com). I'm also friends with the founders, and we've
talked on several occasions about getting Insoshi to run on Heroku.
Unfortunately, some of the requirements for Insoshi---especially
integrated, full-text search---are a bit too specific for Heroku's
main use-case. Getting search to work would involve either dropping a
big piece of functionality (i.e., just using "LIKE" database queries)
or outsourcing search to a separate server (probably running
Lucene/Solr). We'd also have to rewrite image upload to use a
third-part asset server such as S3 due to Heroku's read-only
filesystem.

As a result of these issues, I've reluctantly given up trying to get
Insoshi to run on Heroku. But I use Heroku for everything I can, and
so should you. :-)
