Experiment with Heroku, Google Charts, and Django

So, one of the experiments that I just did was quickly making a Django app, deploying it on heroku.

I have uploaded it to Github as well. Here is the link.

The problems that I faced were -

1) the static files handling in heroku -  foreman doesnt work like runserver, and has to be configured as the help says. But in my case, I didnt want to re configure just to serve a small app, so my app is currently serving 3 static files.
2) The structure of the app is such that the root folder had name different than that of the app, registered at heroku. This caused the error no Cedar supported app detected.


These were the two small problems that I faced. reference solutions can be seen in github link.
