## Deploying to Heroku

[![Deploy](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.svg)](https://heroku.com/deploy)

### Running with free dynos

> Heroku shuts down free dynos after there is no traffic in a period. A web server is added ([cmd/web/web.go](cmd/web/web.go)) which supports [wakemydyno.com](http://wakemydyno.com/). Register your Heroku app there if you want to prevent it from sleeping.

## To-dos

- [ ] ~~Support logging in to Imgur to upload with users' own accounts~~

- [ ] ~~Support specifying which album to upload to~~

- [x] Inline keyboard for deleting images from Imgur

- [ ] Generate Markdown and HTML snippets for uploaded images
