EthosBar

What it does

Stop debugging "ghost" issues. EthosBar monitors your dev-stack (GitHub, AWS, Stripe, and more) directly from your macOS menu bar. Featuring "Incident Pulse" AI to summarize outage reports instantly. Lightweight, native, and built for developers who value their time. Try before you download: Experience the interface and Incident Pulse features directly in your browser: ethosbar.app/demo

EthosBar monitors your dev-stack from the macOS menu bar. Know when GitHub, AWS, or Stripe is down before you start debugging. Free forever. Pro from $3.99/mo.

EthosBar watches GitHub , AWS , Stripe , OpenAI , Cloudflare and 95+ more in the background. Green icon — ship. Pulsing red — check the cloud before you check your code. Monitor, AI analysis, weekly digest, webhooks — all clickable. Not a random list of 7,000 — a curated set of the services your stack actually depends on, actively shaped by developer votes. Every status page is polled every minute by a Cloudflare Worker and cached, so your app reads one endpoint, not 100+ separate pages. Built after a specific afternoon that ended in a thirty-second fix and an hour of wasted debugging. The icon was pulsing red the whole time. One click would have shown it: Cloudflare maintenance.

  my new app Timebar has a clever UI (I think)2013 · whimsicalifornia.com · ▲81

  Howdy, gang; After almost two weeks of sitting in Apple's approval queue, my new app Timebar is finally available. I think it has a pretty innovative UI feature, so I wanted to float it by Hacker News. It's a timer app that turns your Mac's menu bar into a sort of virtual hourglass. Your menu bar starts out tinted blue (or whatever colour you pick) and it slowly drains from right-to-left until your time is up. It works very well for situations where you want to keep track of time, but don't need to be super precise. The menu bar is easy to glance up at, and it doesn't take long to happen…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi 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…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
