24 alternatives to My solar died for 6 months, so I built a watchdog
Hi HN, Shawn here. My rooftop system lost about half a year of production and nobody told me. Not the installer, not the monitoring app, not the utility. I found out from an electric bill that made no sense, then spent weeks digging through the monitoring portal by hand. SunRanker is what I wished existed that day. Connect a system once (Enphase OAuth, or a SolarEdge site ID plus API key) and it reads production daily, shows it in plain language, and emails you when something actually changes. Three alerts only. The connection broke, the monitoring went quiet, or output has been well below…
SunRanker monitors residential solar systems by connecting once to Enphase or SolarEdge infrastructure, then checking production daily and alerting owners via email when problems occur. Built for homeowners whose solar… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

I kept trying to explain how important outdoor light is and how most people aren’t getting enough. Eventually I figured that showing is more effective than telling. So we built a free app that uses your Apple Watch or iPhone to automatically track your light exposure throughout the day. It tells you if you’re getting enough, shows you how consistent you are, and rewards habits that support hormone balance. It's in beta on TestFlight, let me know what you think!

Eurker▲16Hi HN, I built an uptime monitoring tool similar to other services, but more lightweight, easier to set up, and focused on developer flexibility. It includes all the essential features — keyword assertions, custom HTTP methods, retries, alerts via SMS/Email/Slack/Webhooks — with a clean JSON config system for advanced setups. I originally made it last month to learn more about Firebase Cloud Functions and Cloud Run, and to build something real for my portfolio. It turned out to be genuinely useful, so I’ve decided to share it. Would love your feedback – especially from devs…

AttackerView▲13Last week I wrote about building a scanner that writes its own exploits. A cron job runs Claude Code every night, it reads new CVEs, writes proof-of-concept checks, tests them against vulnerable and patched Docker instances, and opens PRs. I review and merge in the morning. That post was about how t

Hi Everyone, I've been working on FastMonitor.io solo for about a year now. FastMonitor monitors how fast your site is, and alerts you if it gets slower. Wanted to show it to you guys and get some feedback. Back Story: I built the basic tool kit for my previous startup - we were doing SEO and had very slow page speed across a wide variety of pages, so I ran lighthouse on an instance every day and put the results in the database and on a chart. This allowed us to chart our progress and celebrate when our pages got faster, or roll back / find the problem when things got slower. Feedback:…

exit1.dev▲11I'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.

LLM observability is an absolute must-have for anyone running something in prod (or prod-like). While all the observability startups are great, you're essentially sending all your OpenAI usage history - prompts, generations, chats - to a random third party. So this script deploys a basic proxy in your Azure account, catches all incoming OpenAI requests, stores logs in your own resource group, and comes with visualizations premade (charts, timelines, chat history, cost estimation, etc). Thanks for any thoughts and feedback!
