ditado-api

Public API to serve ditados, i.e., popular Portuguese sayings.

Why?

Github Actions had just come out and I wanted to learn all about it, namely how to automate deployments via Heroku.

Fetching ditados is an easy enough use case. Also inspired by this.

Update: since the original release Heroku has decomissioned their free tier (we're now using fly.io and Github Actions has considerably matured. I now use this to play around
