Show HN: API monitoring for solopreneurs and indie hackers
I built this after one too many 3 AM wake-ups due to API outages. Existing solutions felt overpriced and overcomplicated for my small-scale needs.
Key features:
Simple, GitHub-inspired dashboard
Free tier: 5-minute checks, email alerts, 30-day retention
Premium tier: 1-minute checks, SMS alerts, unlimited retention
Significantly more affordable than enterprise solutions
Tech stack: Next.js frontend, Node.js backend, MongoDB, Stripe for payments.
This is my attempt to solve the "sleep vs. downtime" dilemma for fellow indie hackers. I'd appreciate any feedback or feature suggestions.
What's your approach to API monitoring for side projects? Are existing solutions meeting your needs?
