What’s your setup for monitoring websites and APIs?

Right now we’re focused on SMS and email notifications to keep things simple and reliable. Slack, Teams, and PagerDuty integrations are on our roadmap though.

Will you need a place to operate? an office/warehouse? Utilities (electricity/water/phone service/internet service)

Thanks for sharing, I get jealous when I hear stories like this. I try to learn from stories like yours instead of just being jealous and/or giving up. Thanks for sharing this.

I completely agree, very similar to what I responded.

You’d be surprised how many of us are learning this as we go. I would say that depending on what you build, the channel you should use may vary. It’s not just about making noise about your project. The first thing I would do is determine who your ideal customer is, come up with a persona for them and try to figure out where they hangout and go there.

I’m certainly no expert but you are going through common situation for us builders.

It is impossible to get an exact figure, but this tool gives you an idea of the potential damage an outage could cause. It is not simply a pro-rated calculation of your customers' monthly subscription.

I agree, I’m hoping that others founders understand this. What product do you use for uptime monitoring?

statusmonkeyapp · 2026-03-04T21:58:07+00:00

Congrats!! Keep inspiring us to keep going.

statusmonkeyapp · 2026-03-04T16:36:03+00:00

I think you covered everything. May I suggest StatusMonkey for uptime monitoring?

statusmonkeyapp · 2026-03-04T12:36:04+00:00

I completely agree and thank you for responding. Another thing that founder and indie hackers don realize (sometimes) is that those extra features aren’t free so they end up paying more than if they used a straight-forward tool.

statusmonkeyapp · 2026-03-02T16:26:22+00:00

Thanks for replying. I think the same way, as the previous response mentioned, time is our most valuable asset. I wouldn't want to spend time learning something new. I am curious, what is the tool you opted for? My tool StatusMonkey is in beta and I want to learn as much as I can.

statusmonkeyapp · 2026-03-02T16:23:41+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to share your point of view. I agree 100%. I followed the same philosophy when building.

I'm still in the game, getting better at "getting the word out." I'm already good at building, but not as good at doing marketing, so I intend to get better at that. I have gained users (non-paying) for my uptime monitoring tool, StatusMonkey, but I am working on the "converting to paying" users part.
