Ever had a project go down for hours… and the first time you hear about it is an angry user? I have, and it sucks. That pain is why I built UpDog — a simple status monitoring service with configurable alerts. You can route alerts to where you actually work: Discord, Slack, SMS, Telegram, or email. It’s free for solo builders and priced to stay affordable for small teams. If you’re already monitoring uptime, what are you using and what do you wish it did better?
