PingParrot

Alerts that won't stop until someone actually sees them.

What it does

PingParrot sends push, email, and SMS alerts that repeat and escalate until someone acknowledges them — built for on-call engineers who can't afford a missed page, and now for families who need to know a kid or aging parent is okay. Free for 3 devices, no credit card required.

PingParrot delivers repeating push notifications, on-call scheduling, and escalation policies for critical alerts. Free to start — no credit card required.

OpsGenie shuts down April 2027. See why teams are switching to PingParrot → PingParrot sends push notifications to your on-call team and keeps repeating until the page is acknowledged — because critical alerts can't wait. The PagerDuty and OpsGenie alternative for teams that can't afford to miss a critical alert. Trigger an alert from the web app, mobile app, or via our REST API from any monitoring tool. Recipients get a push notification instantly, an email with the page details, and an SMS if enabled. Push keeps repeating until someone responds. A team member acknowledges from the mobile app or directly via the link in the email — the page stops repeating immediately. Full audit…from pingparrot.app

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
