I understand if the full app experience doesn’t work on mobile, but at least consider allowing mobile visitors to view the landing page. I’d love to check it out, but am on mobile and get a full screen “not supported” banner. Edit: or maybe redirect mobile visitors from peeng.sh to your .dev site.
Hey! I've just removed the restriction on "/" for mobiles, can you refresh? (maybe incognito until cache is refreshed or something)

#12The blurb on the site was difficult for me to parse, mentally. It's wordy and awkward with the negative in there:
> Receive an HTTP request whenever your heartbeat endpoint is not pinged for a configured interval of your choice.
"Get POSTed when your endpoint stops receiving a ping." is where I got to after reading your description here, but it's sorta unclear what "your endpoint" means (it's ambiguous, is it my site's endpoint? or my "peeng endpoint"?)

#13Neat! I definitely read the name as "Peeing" and was confused. (Most people parse words using the first few letters and last few letters when they scan.)

Anyway, gotcha, we'll do some work on the text there! Thank you!

#14I don’t currently need something like this, but I like the simplicity and it seems handy. Tech aside, I’m compelled to say that I don’t like the name. It is one letter off from a bodily function, and the pronunciation is even closer. Edit: the menu button on the landing page doesn’t work for me on iOS.

#16I'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?
Re: Show HN: Peeng – like Pingdom, but the other way around and simpler
#17the homepage does not convey any information about this script or anything else like setup instructions.
if i click on the github links in the top row i see a codebase that is supposedly for the server side.
i would like to know more but you're not making it easy.

#18I been looking for a reverse of pingdom and this post has caught my eye but not sure if it does what I need.

#19the name suffix suggests that it is implemented as a shell script. the homepage does not convey any information about this script or anything else like setup instructions. if i click on the github links in the top row i see a codebase that is supposedly for the server side. i would like to know more but you're not making it easy.
let me know if I can help anyhow
