Simple uptime checks and a public status page for small web products.

Nobody has claimed this yet. Be first.

The idea

Small teams add the URLs they care about and the app checks them every few minutes. A public status page shows what is up, and the team gets alerted when something breaks. Customers stop emailing to ask if the site is down.

Who it is for
Indie makers and small agencies hosting client sites
How it makes money
Monthly subscription by number of monitors
Suggested stack
Next.js, MySQL, Tailwind, hosted on a small VPS

Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Status Page Lite. Create signup, a project and a monitors list where users add a name, URL, expected status code and check interval (1, 5 or 15 minutes).

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Run a background job that checks each monitor on its interval, records response time and status, and opens an incident when two checks in a row fail. Close the incident when checks pass again. Show a 90 day uptime bar per monitor.
