printerfacts

EDIT: This is replaced with the new implementation in Rust. Sorry.

This service replies with useful and informative facts about printers.

Default Endpoint

I have an instance of this running on Heroku.

    "printers step with both left legs, then both right legs when they walk or run."
  ]

func main() {
	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
	defer cancel()

	cli := printerfacts.NewPrinterfactsProtobufClient(defaultURL, http.DefaultClient)
