shields.io images are currently broken

[natefinch]

Going to the homepage shows broken images everywhere, and generated image links return an application error

[espadrine]

Where are you from?

[natefinch]

BTW, it seems to be working now. Also, I'm not sure what you are asking when you ask where I'm from.... I live on the East coast of the US, outside Boston, if that's what you're asking.

[espadrine]

@natefinch Yep… I'm asking because I received similar issue reports in the past, and I know for sure that I had no problem accessing the website while they could not. So far, issues arose in Chicago and around Boston, then.

Interesting. It wasn't a whole-site problem. I could get to the homepage
just fine, but all the images on the homepage were broken, and if I went to
a customized image URL, like http://img.shields.io/badge/foo-bar-red.svg, I
got a page that said "application error".

So it definitely wasn't a connectivity issue. I don't know anything about
the backend, but if you're hosted on multiple sites, maybe the one that I
got directed to was having issues, and the one you were at did not have the
issue?

Maybe. I'm hosted on Heroku.

I'm experiencing this right now.

is broken for me:

That was a legit crash. Should be fixed now.

Running into this same error myself right now as well. Is the img.shields.io application currently down?

[jonahoffline]

Running into this right now!

[espadrine]

@jonahoffline thanks for telling me! It crashed. I restarted it.

Because of Heroku's changes, it may be unstable this week.

Hopefully this will change things for the better!

@espadrine no worries, thanks :)
I ❤️ Shields

Linux crashed. It should be better now.

It seems broken right now:

• 
• 

It's not a GitHub problem, since images from other services work:

• (not from shields.io)

This repo's own README.md has broken images, too:
