Many people are confused by current homepage of registry, especially it is mentioned when registering new package, see: https://github.com/bower/bower/issues/1612

something like this?

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.redirect(301, 'http://bower.io/');
});

Maybe 302 is more appropriate?

hmm...how is it temporary?

For example in future we decide to point to http://bower.io/search/ instead?

from Matt Cutts...

By definition, those are redirects from one domain A.com to another domain B.com that are claimed to be temporary; that is, the web server on A.com could always change its mind and start showing content on A.com again

302 it is

Is this working? https://bower.herokuapp.com is still Cannot GET /

sheerun commented 9 years ago

@desandro Someone forgot to deploy. I've just done it.

https://bower.herokuapp.com seems to be down again

sheerun commented 9 years ago

@teddyhwang It's not appropriate issue for reporting downtimes.
