You start a project, make it way to complicated, add way too many features and you never finish it. The motivation behind Checkify was to create something super simple which works really well and was useful to others.

July 26, 2021 Launched on Product Hunt

Yesterday we had our launch day on Product Hunt, at one point we were the number four of the day 💪🏻, but we glided down to number twenty of the day 😭. Nonetheless we now have 13 customers resulting in €218 ARR! Which makes me very proud. I am curious where the future will take this product.

July 16, 2021 Share on Reddit and HackerNews

The last couple of days I had some great responses from people using the product. They especially liked the super simple design, it was very easy to use and understand the product. So I decided to post the product on Reddit and HackerNews to generate some new visitors to the site. This resulted in 2 new signups! It doesn't sound much, but I am very excited that somebody actually payed some money for a product I made from scratch.

So excited for the future!

July 12, 2021 Finished the MVP

It took a couple of weeks, but I'm finally done building the minimum viable product for Checkify. I worked mostly nights and weekends, and I coded the whole thing in JavaScript since that's the language I use the most at work. In hindsight, there were a few features I built that probably could've waited until later. But I'm excited to start talking to customers and see what they think about the product so far!

March 5, 2021 Came up with the idea

Everyone has experienced this problem: you have an idea, you start building it, you get very enthusiastic, you start adding more and more features and suddenly you can't bring it up to finish the project. And so it never will. I had this happen to me countless of times and so I decided to create project which mainly focus on one thing. This led me to create Checkify. A very simple and easy to use uptime checker. Doesn't have a lot of features, but it does uptime checking really well.
