Add custom domain

$ heroku domains:add www.theunfinishedproject.space
Adding www.theunfinishedproject.space to ⬢ stark-scrubland-88399... done
▸    Configure your app's DNS provider to point to the DNS Target computational-partridge-c23ms6gex8rmypn3hre1osid.herokudns.com.
▸    For help, see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains

The domain www.theunfinishedproject.space has been enqueued for addition
▸    Run heroku domains:wait 'www.theunfinishedproject.space' to wait for completion
