Checkup
Open source, self hosted, uptime monitor for developers
Checkup launched on September 9, 2016 with 3 votes. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.
What it does
Simple distributed, lock-free, self-hosted health checks and status pages.
Checkup runs on Linux, Mac, BSD, and Solaris without any external dependencies. Also embeddable in any Go program. No more fiddling with slow, complex UIs. Checkup loads everything it needs from your checkup.json file: endpoints, storage credentials, and health criteria. Import the checkup package for total control over your health checks, including custom check types, notifications, and storage providers. Define checks in checkup.json or Go code. Checkup's CLI is beautifully symmetric to its Gofrom sourcegraph.github.io

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
