This is really nice. The front page tells me everything I need to know.

For your consideration, I'm really struggling to find a tool like yours that expect a regular ping ("the daily build has not failed") and that support pushing a status ("the last build was green").

I have two matching use cases: one to detect when my static site generator fails to build in production, and the other to detect when my appointment finder does not find appointments for a longer period of time. I'd really like my uptime monitor to handle that, so that I don't have to implement something myself.

Another brilliant feature is allestörungen, which lets people report troubles with common services. It fulfils the similar niche of "is this down for anyone else?"

Ping success/failure is something I've been looking at - I'll add it to the backlog :)

  • In this case the server would be POSTing a status to you ("I'm not ok!"), not responding to a ping.
