"peeng", "pee-pee-df" what is going on on HN the past few days?
We're used routinely to calling things crap. What's wrong with a wee bit of fun?

#62Does this tell me more than just cron is running on my site? Like what if my HTTP server has choked?
Maybe like this, with HTTPie?
http --check-status GET localhost/health && https GET example.peeng.sh

#66I been looking for a reverse of pingdom and this post has caught my eye but not sure if it does what I need. I'm looking specifically for a ping/heartbeat service to observe our long-running process scripts, where I will make an HTTP request to it every x interval so I know that the background script is still alive. Does anyone know of which?

#67I really like this idea, but. I've been thinking about this, and also the fact that Pingdom, etc. seem to consolidate. Is there really a big market for "simple monitors"? If you are small, you probably don't care much/do it yourself/don't want to pay. The moment you grow bigger, you have many more comprehensive options available to you like Sentry, Datadog, PD, etc. that offer not only uptime alerts but all kinds of other stuff for a range of budgets.

true. the way we see it is that we will few use cases with very good UX, and the second thing is to build integrations to all other tools. think of status page that is integrated with all of your observability tools + you can add your own checks.

#69I would sign up if you allowed me to ping a 2nd “check status” endpoint then send the results in the POST.
you give us an URL to check, we HTTP-ping it and then send the results to another URL?
