We're 2 buddies that flew from Vancouver and Paris to Croatia to build a product in 3 hectic weeks that'd solve many pain points for us, so considered it might help some of you as well!

We wanted a dead simple solution to collect metrics and show them in powerful, snappy charts. We benchmarked a bunch of solutions, made our our charts using d3.js (was hella fun) to come out with something we dreamed of

The ability to create products by one person and make a living from it is being democratized? Most people, (developers, mostly) don't see the alternative yet. In this post, I share how I gained the mindset from my personal experience and share 5 actionable, opinionated steps!

Hey HN,

here is the V1 of an uptime monitoring tool i've been working on the for the last 3 months. I tried to make something simple and really affordable. It doesn't require any setup and allow you to monitor your domains and APIs within seconds!

I had a lot of fun coding this, but here comes the marketing part where I'm less familiar with but brings new challenges.

Come talk to me if you want to get a coupon code or something, also I would love feedback from you guys

That's a good point. I was wondering how I could blog around those, and this is so far the best SEO that could be done. It would require time, or at least until I find a process. Maybe there are contents that I could automate, or I could pick 2 or 3 landing pages a week and review them for the blog or/and the newsletter.

That's a good idea, it is written in the roadmap, I'm just wondering how to implement it. Some similar websites propose this feature but the discussions remain empty. Maybe I should propose a :clap: counter

Looks really good!

Thanks! The content is updated every day

I got your point, I also get frustrated when it takes more than the mouse scroll to understand what the product can offer when I navigate those different landing pages.

Thank you! This also keeps give me some awareness of what are the most recent SaaS releases beyond the fact they're pretty landing pages.

I eventually ended up with almost a hundred websites in my bookmarks to get inspiration from. This is when I decided to put all that into a more visual aspect.

One feature that needed to be there: the color palette extraction that the landing pages contain. Some websites put colors together without any context, I think that can help
