Is mobile version important for uptime monitoring service?

Hi Indie hackers!

I'm pretty sure most of you know what is uptime monitoring service. But just in case, this is a service which checks that your site is up and running and notifies you when it's not.

I wonder, if it's important to have a mobile version for this kind of service? Since, I think that usually it's just a matter of setting up your sites/monitors, and then you forget about it and only get notified when something's wrong.

But I can imagine the case when you have, say, 50 sites and you want to check them all, view their stats etc, and you might do this on your cell phone.

What do you think?

    HowFast Monitoring can be used on mobile and I find myself doing it quite often for the following use cases:

    • quickly lookup some uptime number of past incident data during a conversation ("wait, what's our uptime for this service?")
    • see data about ongoing incidents when I'm on the go (for instance, when I'm commuting, I'm still able to help my teammates into solving the incident by contributing ideas)

        TBH that's an excellent question, I did not notice the data at first haha. It was in the "recommended posts" section below another recent post and I assumed it was recent enough.
        What did you end up choosing regarding the mobile version?
