Verelo website monitoring

We've been working on Verelo website monitoring for just over six months now. Our project was created out of frustrations with existing monitoring tools while working in the DevOps team at our past employer. We consider ourselves different to what's out there today for a few reasons: - Our main goal is to provide a monitoring service which can truly help you meet and prove your SLA. This means a few critical enhancements from what's out there today. - We provide sub-minute checks. You can use us to check as regularly as every 5 seconds (for paid accounts, free beta accounts can only do 60…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…

    I made a Continuous Page Speed & Stability Monitoring tool2024 · fastmonitor.io · ▲9

    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:…

The focus is on simplicity and reliability. Would love feedback from the HN community on…

    Slop Meter for GitHubMar 2026 · ▲6

    About 6 years ago I wrote a blog post [0] with some ideas on how to help popular open source maintainers deal with all the noise on Github. Patted myself in the back and never did anything about it :) There's recently been a lot more discussion around this due to AI, so I've built a simple tool called "Slop Meter" [1]. It gives maintainers a quick snapshot of the user's history in open source: 1) Do they just open issues and expect you to do everything, or will they put in the work to fix the problems and open a PR? What's the issues : PR ratio? 2) If they do contribute, what percentage of…

    I'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.

    Weekend Project - Website Uptime Monitoring Service2016 · ▲6

    A couple of months back, I had come across this promising-looking app on github - a website uptime monitoring service[1] built with Node.js, MongoDB, and Bootstrap, so I had whipped up a DO droplet[2], registered a (free) .tk domain[3] and after a weekend of messing about (mainly via ssh), had created a (stock) working service (and then promptly forgotten about it): http://monitup.tk:8082/dashboard/checks Turned out to be a lot better than I had expected! Now, while there are many such (free and paid) services available out there, I do think one more can't hurt,…
