Hey, 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.

Thanks! I have thought about it, will consider this.

Quick 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 :)

It looks like it's having trouble checking the uptime of one of my IPv6-only sites. Does it support IPv6?

What's the value of an IPv6 only site?

It's for testing IPv6 connections. I also have an IPv4-only site for testing IPv4 connections.

Sorry 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.

Exactly 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!

That's it, there are more services. Actually ~150: https://www.supermonitoring.com/blog/the-updated-list-of-web...
