October 14, 2025 Building PingWeb.cat: a small uptime monitor made in Catalonia

Hey everyone

I’m building PingWeb.cat, a simple uptime monitoring tool made for freelancers and small businesses — especially those who work with WordPress sites.

Right now there’s a free plan that lets you monitor one website and get email alerts if it goes down. It’s small and independent, built because I needed it myself.

We currently have 14 active users — growing slowly but learning a lot. It’s always humbling to see how challenging it is to reach people, even with a product that solves a real problem.

I recently added a blog with articles about uptime, SEO, and reliability — written in Catalan, with plans to translate them into other languages later. The goal is to help small businesses understand why uptime really matters.

Next steps:

  • Focus on improving user onboarding

  • Add more alert options (like SMS )

  • Keep improving stability and simplicity

If you’ve built or launched something similar, I’d love to hear how you reached your first users
