Up Ninja

I prepared a medium post to describe how we were able to be successful to create #1 Most Upvoted Product in Product Hunt.

I hope that would help anyone who is not sure about when to start.

Up Ninja got new subscribers. It is a really good start for me because it helps us to see that "there is a future" in the project. Current subscribers are coming with Basic Package subscriptions and I believe once they get used to work with Up Ninja, they will upgrade to more advanced plans.

After 24 hours of Product Launch Up Ninja got the #1 Most Upvoted Product award! It was a great launch for us. 22 days of hard work returned with a very good outcome.

I will write a blog post about it and share my adveventure.

I released the project in Product Hunt at 00:01 AM PT. Right now, as of 03:14 AM PT, the project is #1 product of the day. It is all organic support since I do not have a good network as others have. I will keep following how the project will position during the day and share my experience afterwards.

I am willing to get the support of IndieHackers, too.

Oh my god! It is time to write this message to you! 🥰

I am super excited to to release my first ever product with great people. 🎉🥳

I am Oben from beautiful Madrid, working as a software development engineer. During my entire professional life, I always worked in enterprise level companies but this has never prevented me from working on my side projects. Today is a big milestone for me to share my product with you.

As you may know, most businesses rely on over-priced 💵and hard to manage 💩 solutions that should provide very simple outcome:

"Monitor my services, notify me when things go wrong and be transparent to my customers about the outages."

I was one of the person who needed an affordable solution with simple user interface and decided to build Up Ninja and happy to share it with you, yay! 😁

What are the important features of Up Ninja?

• Uptime Monitoring: uptime rate, response time and apdex 📉
• Request Analysis: show the timing details of request to overcome issues 📊
• Response Analysis: analyse how the service responds in average compared to custom time intervals. 🛫
• Email, slack and web push alerts to you and the team members 📧
• No false positives, reliable monitoring: check the potential down alarms second time from a different region and make sure it is not a false alarm. 💪
• 9 regions spread to the world. 🌍
• Status pages: Don't leave your customers in the dark during downtime & outages of your website. 😇

What else?

• SSL Monitoring: Certificate expiration is important. Receive updates before it expires.
• Customisable Requests: Your requests are going to be fully customisable. You can configure the URL, Check Interval, Expected Status Code, Expected Text Body, Request Headers and Request Body of your monitors.
• Projects: Use Projects to organize your monitoring dashboards, to have finer-grained team control, and to simplify your monitor mapping.
• Teams: You can share or join to other projects to have collaborative access to your dashboards and monitors.
• Mobile friendly, responsive design: Up Ninja has fully responsive design so you can also use your mobile phone to check your monitor details.
• Affordable pricing: I was very upset about acquisitive tools. I believe affordable prices are very important for small and mid-size businesses.

This is the phase 1 of Up Ninja, which took 22 part time days of mine to build it from scratch since the first commit. There is a lot of improvements in my list for customer's benefit.

Please let me know about your opinions & feedbacks! I opened my 4 eyes, waiting for them eagerly! 😀👏

Hi there, it's me, Oben Isik, from beautiful Madrid, Spain.

I started Up Ninja as a side-project because one of my requirement in my another side project was exactly what Up Ninja provides.

I designed Up Ninja as a SaaS project so the infrastructure is well designed to have the potential of being beyond a side project. This is why our service is reliable, simple and affordable.

In today's world, most businesses rely on complex and pricey solutions that should provide very simple outcome: Monitor my services, notify me (in real time) when something goes wrong and be able to have a transparent endpoint (status page) to my customers about the situation.

So within the light of this idea, I came up with Up Ninja. I am very open to communicate with any of you because all your opinions are very important to make Up Ninja a better software.

Please feel free to write me whenever you want to. Me and my team mates will be appreciated to your feedbacks.

Thank you, Oben.
