I am setting up a NodeJS Heroku app. I just want an empty app up and running.
My dir includes a package.json and an app.js file.
The Heroku app builds without errors, but then I just get an "application error"-page on the URL (https://nameless-wave-98692.herokuapp.com/).
As far as I can see, everything looks good in the logs:
-----> Node.js app detected
-----> Creating runtime environment
NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL=error
NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=true
NODE_ENV=production
NODE_MODULES_CACHE=true
-----> Installing binaries

Do you see any problems? Am I doing something wrong?

Looks like you're missing a Procfile
