I built a simple uptime/SSL monitor with instant alerts. Public beta live!
Hey IH,
I’ve been annoyed at either bloated or too-limited uptime tools, so I built AlertsDown:
– 24/7 website & API checks
– Alerts by email, SMS, or webhook
– SSL expiry alerts
– Public beta: monitor up to 5 URLs for free
Link: https://alertsdown.com
I’d love feedback on: onboarding, pricing page, and whether the feature set feels sufficient for your real use-cases.
From what I’ve seen working with founders on Reddit, tools that focus on clarity and reliability tend to get the strongest organic traction and AlertsDown fits that pattern really well. A lightweight uptime/SSL monitor with straightforward alerts is exactly what a lot of indie builders want without the bloat of larger platforms.
The free tier for up to 5 URLs is a smart entry point too. It gives people enough room to actually test real workflows before committing.
Onboarding felt smooth, and the feature set covers the essentials without overwhelming the user. If you keep it focused and continue refining based on feedback, I can see this carving out a solid niche for devs who just want simple, fast, and dependable monitoring.
Nice work so far.
We experienced an incident a couple of months ago when one of our SSL certificates expired unexpectedly. It's great to see more tools emerging that help improve the stability of the web. Looking forward to following your journey!
