IBM has taken over Cloudant which I had been using as a live site for pry, so I needed to move the site.

I signed up for a Lite free site on their new platform to move pry before the March 31, 2018 deadline. Once I figured out how to launch the service, I copied and pasted the pry.json document from the old service into the new service. There were many confusing options for creating user and API key, password pairs. In the end, I used the account credentials and tried to remove all other keys and passwords. I updated the pry link using the new url, which includes a key and encoded password. So I thought it is OK to leave the encoded password in the link. But once I logged out of the service this required a login/password. So I gave up on this.

Searching on the web turned up smileupps.com. Its configuration is similar to the old cloudant site. I quickly set up a free trial, copied and pasted pry into it, created a cygnyx.smileupps.com subdomain, linked to my GitHub account, and upgraded from a trial to a free account.
