24 alternatives to IsMyAIDown – AI status monitor with Phoenix LiveView. Can you crash it?

I recently built IsMyAIDown.com to challenge some assumptions about modern web development. Instead of reaching for React like everyone else seems to be doing these days, I wanted to see if I could build a distributed, scalable, real-time, single-page app using server-side tech with Phoenix and LiveView. The core idea was simple enough - monitor major AI providers and show their status across different geographic regions. But the primary goal was to better understand what was possible without the complexity of modern frontend frameworks. I ended up deploying across three Fly.io regions and…

    Author here. I really love the programming paradigm behind by Phoenix LiveView applications and wanted to expand the ecosystem to include programmers like myself that love Typescript. In summary, LiveViewJS reuses all the Phoenix client code and implemented a new backend in Typescript to handle client events and send back updates. Lots more detail and examples in the repo. Would love any questions and/or feedback. Thanks!

    I've been writing Elixir for 5 years and made plenty of sites with Phoenix and LiveView but my biggest gripe has always been with the lack of quality UI components available. The JS ecosystem has so many, and it's the one thing I miss from being primarily a React & Node developer. So this is my attempt at bringing some pretty and useful components most applications need to Phoenix projects to try and fill in the gaps between what makes LiveView such a productive joy to work with. The library is very very raw and requires some initial clean up so PRs are very welcome to tidy up the DX as well…

    I migrated programmerhumor.io from WordPress to Elixir/Phoenix and the results are mind-blowing. The site is now blazingly fast with dramatically reduced server load and zero crashes. No more WordPress plugin hell with constant conflicts, security patches, and performance degradation. Phoenix LiveView made the UX significantly smoother than the WordPress version. The migration process was surprisingly manageable thanks to Phoenix's clean conventions, which helped untangle the WordPress spaghetti schema. My only regret is not making the switch sooner.

    Every second thing I build needs to access the web, and I was frustrated with not finding something that just works all the time. With my team, we built this because I wanted to enable access to extremely difficult websites and apps for every AI agent. We have solved this cat-and-mouse problem with self-healing built in. It's one API to get data from hostile sites, and it can do easy sites too. You POST a URL and get back Markdown, JSON, HTML, a screenshot, or all of them. That same call handles anti-bot, proxy rotation, JS rendering, persistent authenticated sessions, and schema-based…

    Hi HN, We just launched [AI Page Ready](https://aipageready.com) — a tool to check if your web pages are discoverable and understandable by AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. It runs 40+ checks across six areas: Discoverability & Crawlability, Structured Data & Semantics, Content Quality, Answer-Ready Formatting, Accessibility & Rendering, and Deep AI LLM-specific checks. Would love your feedback — especially if you work in eCommerce, SEO, content, SaaS, or are trying to get traffic from AI tools. (Also open to ideas on what else to add to the tool!)

    Hey HN! I'm excited to share Statusnook - a status page and monitoring tool. I built Statusnook for my own projects, but I soon began incorporating bits of feedback from friends & colleagues. My goal was to create a tool with a solid essential feature set, and to make it easy to self-host. I welcome any feedback or suggestions.

    Hacker Live is a client for Hacker News that provides live updates to lists and comments. I’ve built this to get into Elixir / Phoenix / LiveView development. The UI follows HN look and feel for the most part, with a few opinionated tweaks and additions: - Sticky comment summaries to help keep track of the discussion context in nested comment threads - Subtitles on list entries and summaries on story pages generated by an LLM to help you decide whether a given article is worth your time - List entries link to the discussion page by default - Surfacing of links in comments to…

    Hey HN, We built a different kind of AI benchmark for UI generation. Instead of static leaderboards or curated screenshots, you can watch multiple models generate the same design live, side-by-side, and decide which output is actually better. Under the hood, we call AI models from Anthropic (Opus), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), and Moonshot AI (Kimi). Each model generates a real, editable project using Tailwind CSS (not screenshots or canvas exports). You can export it for Next.js, Laravel (Blade), Symfony (Twig), WordPress, or plain HTML. What we noticed building this: * Popular benchmarks…

    I recently got tired of subscribing to dozens of status pages (Cloudflare, Vercel, Twilio, GitHub, OpenAI) just to stay ahead of the outages that seem to happen almost every week. So I decided to build https://statussight.com/ - essentially it's an aggregator that crawls 3,000 status pages every minute, so I can see the status of all services and infrastructure in one central place. I also added the capability to create a custom dashboard so that you can monitor specifically the services that you use. I built StatusSight using Next.js, with the frontend being deployed to…

    Hey HN! I love those moments when LLMs are just working right away, but I'm also quite frustrated when they can't complete a single simple task. In those moments I'm always wondering "Is it just me or...?" So I've built AI Daily Check. Made the frontend with Node.js under Cloudflare Pages (with Functions for SSR). Took the opportunity to learn how to make a lightweight SSR engine (Claude Code was incredibly helpful for this!). The backend in on Cloudflare Workers. The challenge is getting votes, so I've started to scrape Reddit, running a small sentiment analysis on the posts and storing…

    Hey guys, We're excited to reach Beta milestone with our web app monitoring service. By posting here, we're seeking to get some feedback from you. So, why QABot? Why another monitoring service? We believe in Continuous Regression Testing. We are sure that continuous app validation reduces downtime and helps avoid disasters. QABot uses real browser and gets the monitoring as close as possible to real usage. At it's core, QABot is based on Selenium, an open source web browser automation tool. When we say monitoring, we mean more than checking http statuses and response times, we mean…
