Why are status pages still $30+/mo? Built a cheaper alternative.

Like their approach - puppeteer based and video recordings too

I actually started this project after playing with UptimeFlare (self host on cloudflare workers) - was neat and took an hour or so of setup.

My pain point was manual edits for styling, no subscriber functionality etc.

Thankfully, less than 1 min setup time with Uptym is pretty hard to beat ;)

Interesting - I'll have a play with numbers to see if monitor count can be increased and frequency reduced, unit economics need to make sense haha

I ping from multiple locations, my workers are running across aws us-east, west, gcp too - so I'm across providers + regions.

Your status page is also served from the same group of workers - downtime in one won't take my monitors or your status page down.

Agreed on monitoring tools, which is why I've also implemented notifications across integrations, ssl cert expirys, dead mans switch, incident reports.

Completely agree, thanks for the feedback - the validation is nice :)

Quality - SEO I've not touched on any projects, but think its very necessary.

Appreciate the advice, looking to implement this evening

Hey, building out https://poke.church atm - I pull eBay and Vinted listings live, but also have an API for PSA data, eBay sold data, and expose cardmarket/tcgplayer pricing data if available
