    I built a free SaaS uptime monitoring solution that helps you track whether your websites and services are running. Key features: Clean, modern UI for monitoring multiple endpoints Real-time status updates and response time tracking Instant notifications when services go down Easy setup and configuration Built with modern web technologies (Next.js, React) I created this because I wanted a simple and beautiful solution for monitoring my own services without relying on overpriced third-party providers.

    I'm trying to disrupt the insane pricing of uptime monitoring. I hope you'll help me out. I'm trying to create the absolute cheapest dev monitoring tool on the market, while still being competitive with all the others. This means $3/month plan, while still having monitoring for: Website, REST API, UDP/TCP, ICMP, Heartbeat/CRON, WS/WSS, DNS, Domain Intel/expiry and SSL. Everything with unlimited alerts through webhooks. I'm also taking an unlimited approach to the amount of checks you can have. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    UptimeFunk, Because the World Needs Another Uptime Monitoring Service▲5

    A few months ago, i was looking for a simple uptime monitor service to monitor my websites, but i wanted some extra features that i couldn't find anywhere. These aren't wild features, but oddly enough couldn't find a service that was easy to setup, cheap, and that could do simple uptime mointoring for databases (sql & mongodb), docker containers, rabbitmq queues and os memory/cpu. It's only when i was almost done that i realized uptime monitoring services had become something of mania in the indiehacker/solopreneur world. Anyways, hoping it can provide value to some of you.…
