I am running another "hobbit software" (just discovered the term) for the past 12 years, and I 100% agree with Pēteri and everything he said in this blog post!

Thank you

Thanks for this feedback, I actually changed this because some of my clients complained of the opposite, that the link was a bit too "dim" and didn't look like the the obvious Call…

I could but I don't want to, it's even more of a dark pattern and looks way too "spammish" IMO. I don't want my users to find this in their email and think that I'm trying to trick…

100% agree, I also hate that I had to do this.

Hi, Adrien here author of this article (and of updown.io). That is true and I actually hesited to write the article for this reason, because it could make the spammer life easier. …

Very nice tip, works quite naturaly in many contexts. Although familiar with HSL I've never though a 180deg turn was going to fix colors.

Quick update here: Vultr is still ignoring us, and Cloudflare said to one of my clients: "some IPv6 traffic from Vultr was being dropped by a DDoS mitigation system as we were rece…

adrien from updown.io here. Sorry about this, I still don't have any answer or explanation from Vultr or CloudFlare at this point. Most likely cause IMO is that CloudFlare (acciden…

In my case (updown.io), I use a "scheduler" process (one per machine) which runs the following loop: every 5 seconds it fetches the checks that needs to execute in the next 5 secon…

That's pretty much it, my customers are people who have websites and want to be the first to know when there's an issue on it so they can fix it, in which case a SaaS solution is u…

It is quite cheap indeed, I try to keep a fair pricing :)

Thanks <3

Probably half of the time (~2-3h per week) is spent answering questions/requests from clients or helping them diagnose downtime. I try to improve the product to make sure my client…

Sounds great ;) let me know if you have any question.

I kept only a small part, I sold most of them right away as there were already over-valued to me ^^

Thanks Haha, less than 1% now that the trend is over, when I added it (2014) it was around 5%.

I run https://updown.io since 2012, a website monitoring service I created. I'm working about 5-10 hours per week on it. It makes about $6,000 per month and is still growing linear…

Thank you <3

Yeah for a DNS server returning wrong results is basically a downtime to me

Indeed I noticed the same issue for my customers using .io domains (and me unfortunately): https://twitter.com/updownio/status/910508435720065024 Seems to be getting better now. Hi…

Yes indeed, that's what I noticed too and if I can do it with existing sources, just presenting them in a cleaner way that's definitely what I will do. I don't want to re-invent th…

Oh sweet, thanks a lot benzimmer & kirankn!

Yes, I already had a quick look and there's a lot of interesting stuff here, I'll definitely need it. Thanks!

Hi, I want to build a service monitoring the Internet and I need your help to build the best tool possible. Below is a rough idea of what I have in mind, please comment with any id…
