Crawly - Just Launched My 2nd Product

I just launched my second SaaS product today. Unlike my first product, i decided to put it on ProductHunt and woow it became product of the day.

Crawly is a tool that crawls your web applications to find out broken pages to help you to maintain it. Crawly has a powerful alerting system that if any page of your project is broken, you will get a notification.

Please give a try to Crawly on your web product and give some feedback.

If you like to try Crawly on a big scale product, here a coupon for indies. "indiehackers-vat-free"

    Techstack? Site looks nice!

  2. 3

    what is a broken page? 404, 500?

    1. 2

      Basically, Crawly excepts 4xx and 5xx responses as error.

  3. 2

    Congrats Hakan. Site looks great, but is it me or some of the wording seems a bit off?

    Intuitive Interface

    We do know how hard it is to control your website pages if you have a big site. That's why we created Crawly to help you find broken pages.

      Thanks @oceanring for the correction. It is obvious that I am not native 😊. Yet, i was so excited to launch it as soon as possible so i could not double check it.

      1. 1

        Understandable. Best of luck.

  4. 2

    This looks great! I notice you already have a testimonial on the front page. Did you do any idea validation beforehand?

    1. 1

      Yes, I was validating my idea just with my friend and he wanted to be first user to try out Crawly.

    Looks great @omegion

    Are you using a template for your designs ? If so, how do you arrange that? If not, do you design by yourself ?\

    1. 1

      Well, I used a html template, Bulma and Buefy for JavaScript integration. I have no method for that, I was using the html template as a base and build up all design on it with Bulma.

      1. 2

        good job.

      2. 1

        do you have a link to the template? it looks really good.

        1. 1

          Hey @dannybit, here HTML premium template that i used for Crawly.

    Fantastic page design 👍

    1. 1

      Thanks @Santiago for your feedback!

  8. 1

    Awesome work! Does the site process client-side rendered hyperlinks? (e.g.: react front-end)

    1. 2

      Yes @FunctionFocus Crawly supports JavaScript execution as well 😊

      1. 1

        Good to know!

  9. 1

    Does this include 3rd party links? so if i have an external js script linked and the domain expires will i be alerted even if it doesn't break the page? it would be cool if a paid option could schedule once every 24 hours or so then email/text an alert if it finds anything.

    (sorry if these are already features, i don't have time to check out the app right now but look forward to doing so as it looks like a great idea, it's definitely something I've been looking for.)

    1. 1

      Thanks @James_Muir for your feedback! Crawly only works with native domain and sub-domains so it does not support external sources.

  10. 1

    Really well done Hakan! Be sure to share your stats later this week.

    1. 1

      Thanks @moe I will keep you updated😊

    Congrats on the PH success, Haken! Did you promote before you launched or just organic?

    1. 1

      Just organic 😊@DavePoly
