Building tools to make software more reliable and developers more relaxed. 🧘

Currently shipping Upbeat: a heartbeat monitor for your background tasks. Stay in the groove. ⚑

IT’S LIVE. πŸš€

Upbeat is officially out in the wild. I built this because I wanted a monitoring tool that was high-utility and zero-friction.

No bloat, no complex onboarding - just straightforward heartbeat monitoring for your cron jobs.

Final launch-day checklist is looking good. Just a few more cups of coffee between here and `$ > deploy`. Stay tuned.

A quick peek at the dashboard. No clutter, just the status of your jobs at a glance. Even if one goes down, you'll know exactly which one needs a look. πŸ› οΈ

It’s launch eve for Upbeat. πŸ₯

Tired of heavy tools, I built something "invisible" - one URL ping for total peace of mind.

Nervous, excited, and ready to ship tomorrow morning. See you at groovekit.io ⚑️ #buildinpublic

Most monitoring tools are more complicated than they need to be. I don't want to manage a whole infrastructure just to know if a script ran.

I built Upbeat to be the opposite. One URL ping at the end of your task. If the "beat" stops, you get a ping. That’s it.

Launching Friday. #buildinpublic

If you’ve been there, you know. I’m building Upbeat to be the heartbeat monitor for your background tasks. Launching this Friday. ⚑

There is no worse feeling than waking up to find a critical cron job failed three days ago and you found out by a call from your biggest client. 🫠 Silence is the enemy of reliability. I’m spending my week finishing a tool to fix this. #buildinpublic
