Introducing DevTools.ink: A Real-Time Status Dashboard for Developer Services — Your Feedback Needed

In the fast-paced world of software development, maintaining awareness of the operational health of various services is crucial. Frustrated with slow response times from GitHub Actions and the difficulty in quickly identifying platform issues, I devised a solution to streamline this process.

What Does It Do?
– Provides live status updates for essential developer platforms including GitHub, npm, Vercel, Docker Hub, AWS, and more.
– Offers straightforward, easy-to-remember URLs like devtools.ink/github for instantaneous checks.
– Enables ChatGPT integration for instant problem diagnosis—simply ask, “Is GitHub down?” and get immediate results.
– Features a clutter-free interface with no ads, focusing solely on delivering vital status information.

Underlying Technologies
The platform is built using Next.js 14 for a robust frontend experience, Redis via Upstash for efficient real-time data handling, and n8n workflows to automate and orchestrate data updates.

Practical Application
For instance, recently I noticed npm was having regional issues. A quick visit to DevTools.ink confirmed the problem wasn’t on my end, saving me about twenty minutes of pointless troubleshooting.

Your Input Matters
As this project is still evolving, I invite fellow developers to share their thoughts. Are there specific services or tools you’d like to monitor? Your suggestions will help improve and expand this monitoring solution.
