#2Nice job for releasing this. However, seems hard to compete with pingdom, who have exponentially more features and integrations and are relatively inexpensive. Kuddos on shipping!

Thanks! No intention to compete, as it says on the page it's not meant for professional purposes (of course, success might change that). It's mostly a pet project to monitor pet projects.

#4btw, the ping engine is a Go app that pings each hosts in a separate goroutine. I might open source it in the future once the code has more tests and less shame.

How to remove alerts?
BTW, +1 to HTTP support, a must-have.

As a DevOps, I'd like to disagree with this. Pingdom previously was a joy to work with. Now that they're attempting to bring in PagerDuty-esq features (escalation policies instead of simple alerting), their UX leaves a bit to be desired. Also, I don't have high hopes after the Solarwinds acquisition.

I created https://webmon.com . I'd love to hear your feedback on it since you were a Pingdom customer.
