Sounds like https://deadmanssnitch.com with a bigger free plan, or is there a fundamental difference?

#32How does Peeng differentiate between 'pings' from different services coming from the same IP? Payload? For example, if I wanted to use this for an appserver and db server and both have a NAT gw as the source, would I need to separate Peeng domains or can Peeng operate on the payload?

#33I 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.
seconded; calling it "pee-ng" will limit adoption

#36Why are you hacking browser scrolling on your landing page?

#39So you are basically making a dead man's switch, it seems [0]. However, why should I send requests to you rather than you pinging me? It saves on your server costs, sure, but it can be more of a hassle for me as the developer when I just want to know if my service is up. And definitely change your name, the first thing I though of was pee or peeing, not a good connection to have in people's minds. [0] https://en.wiki…
Granted I’d probably just set up a server to do that unless this was insanely cheap.
