I built my own uptime monitor because UptimeRobot felt cluttered - here's what I learned
Rehaan Khan created a custom uptime monitor called PingBoard after finding UptimeRobot too cluttered for his needs. PingBoard offers a simplified interface for monitoring website uptime and includes features like real-time status updates and various monitoring types. The project was built using Next.js and other modern technologies, and is now available for public use.
- ▪PingBoard monitors URLs and sends alerts when sites go down.
- ▪The project utilizes Next.js, TypeScript, and Convex for its backend.
- ▪PingBoard features a free tier and does not require a credit card for access.
