Haha thank you, I was thinking about the title because there are so many posts on HN :)
Still plenty of things I want to improve and develop.
Really, is it me so slow, or it really takes so much time! At first I thought that "hey, make a request to a site isn't that hard, is it?" but I don't like about 800 hours developing this...
Congrats again, saw you on PH first. I plan on using your service once we launch in a few weeks because Pingdom doesn't need more users. Would rather help someone starting out (as long as you are monitoring your own site ha!)
Really like the website info/design, saw it posted somewhere a few days ago and was going to sign up. Only thing that stopped me (and maybe others?) was the price.
$10 for 2 URLs is quite high when comparing to other uptime monitoring services that have been around a lot longer, most likely would have signed up if the URLs were a bit higher or the price was a tad lower ($5-6).
Yeah, I think this is what stops everyone. You know why I put this price? Because I saw a competitor (successful competitor) who has 30$ for 15 monitors.
I think I'd increase monitors number, since it's better to have less paying customers for higher price.

Except, maybe, SIGNL4 integration.
In plans:
- Customize everything as much as I can. Like you'll decide which messages/texts to show in notifications and how the status pages should look
- Badges you can put on your site, like "I have 99.99% uptime". Haven't seen this
- Some folks asked for CSV reports of uptime/response time, will add it as well
- Performance monitoring & analysis
But yes, I know, it's in plans so right now not that much to shout about =\",
Thank you! :)
Otherwise, great looking front page!
But it didn't get much traction :(
However I'll post about it too, where and how I worked, even with photos!

Otherwise looks nice all around though. :-)

Indeed
Thank you!!
