Show HN: PingStack.io – Simple uptime monitoring for websites and APIs
- Wheaties466 8y agoGlorified nagios with sms integration? I don't mean to shit on your idea but isn't this essentially just a front end for a nagios style project?
- AznHisoka 8y agoI have been a developer for 15+ years and manage a production system. I have no idea what nagios is.. and even if I did, I probably wouldnt care - I just want someone to solve my problem of monitoring uptime. I would use this if I wasnt already using Pingdom.
- varlogix 8y agoIf Pingdom stops working for you for whatever reason, do reach out to us.
- varlogix 8y agoThe core idea could be the same but I am focusing on things like simplicity and integrations like SMS, Whatsapp/Slack which could be more important for certain segments
- tarasmatsyk 8y agoExactly an idea I had a year ago. I mean, there are more services that do it, but very few of them do exactly one thing. Good luck!
- jamieweb 8y agoLooks good, I currently use UptimeRobot for monitoring my own site and servers, but I have put it on my list to sign up for this too - for extra resiliency.
- varlogix 8y agoThanks!
- jamieweb 8y agoIt looks like it's having trouble checking the uptime of one of my IPv6-only sites. Does it support IPv6?
- lapnitnelav 8y agoHey, cool albeit pretty simple idea. If I may, given the kind of target you might have in mind, adding a referral program might make sense to organically grow your user base for a relatively low cost.
- varlogix 8y agoThanks! I have thought about it, will consider this.
- zilian 8y agoQuick feedback : I just signed up for three apps. After a few minutes, I still have 0% uptime indicated for each app. (they are online) To make the service reliable, you should do an instant check upon monitor registration to see the first data as soon as possible :)
- varlogix 8y agoSorry about that - this should not happen. Ideally, you should see data in under a minute. Do reach out to me on support [at] my product's domain if you still see this.
