Statusduck – Website monitoring tool where the data is public
Hello HN! We're excited to share Statusduck, an uptime monitoring tool where the data is publicly viewable. There are an uncountable amount of uptime tools but we thought we'd put a fun spin on the concept by making another one where people can immediately set up a monitor without signing up. Just type in a website and our service will start pinging it every minute!
In plain words
Statusduck is an uptime monitoring tool that checks website availability by pinging sites every minute. Unlike traditional monitoring services, it requires no signup and displays all monitoring data publicly. Users simply enter a website URL to begin tracking its status. The tool is designed for anyone who wants quick, accessible visibility into website performance without account creation or authentication barriers.

Hey HN! I'm excited to share Statusnook - a status page and monitoring tool. I built Statusnook for my own projects, but I soon began incorporating bits of feedback from friends & colleagues. My goal was to create a tool with a solid essential feature set, and to make it easy to self-host. I welcome any feedback or suggestions.

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:…
