FedHasher not working

[MichaelMurithi]

Hello, I tried login in to the tool but I get the following error in the command line:

I tried to debug the application by running it locally and I noticed that fedHasher() function below is not working:

export default function (timestamp) {
  return fetch(`${constants.fedHasherUrl}${timestamp}`)
    .then((res) => res.json())
    .then((json) => json.hash);
}

This is because the application used with the fedHasherUrl here 'https://fed-hasher.herokuapp.com/timestamp=' is no longer available on Heroku.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run the application (either using npx or npm locally)
2. Enter your email and password from the command line prompt.

Did it work locally (npm)? I tried but it didn't work. Can you please share the steps briefly.

Didn't work locally (with npm). Same issue. I haven't found any replacement for fed-hasher. Any suggestion?

git clone https://github.com/20lives/frontendmastersDownloader.git
cd frondendmastersDownloader
npm install inquirer
npm run start

return Body.Promise.reject(new FetchError(`invalid json response body at ${_this2.url} reason: ${err.message}`, 'invalid-json'));

It seems the heroku site that fedhasher is using doesn't work. Is someone competent to make this project work again??
