What is DevTools.ink?
DevTools.ink is a simple, intuitive platform that provides instantaneous updates on the operational status of a variety of developer-centric services, including GitHub, npm, Vercel, Docker Hub, AWS, and more.
Key features include:
- Real-Time Monitoring: Stay updated without manual refreshes.
- Quick Access URLs: Instantly check specific services via dedicated links like devtools.ink/github.
- ChatGPT Integration: Ask questions like “Is GitHub down?” and receive immediate answers.
- Minimal Distraction: No advertisements — just clear, concise status information.
Underlying Technologies
The platform is built with modern web development tools:
- Next.js 14: Ensures a fast, server-rendered React application.
- Redis (via Upstash): Enables real-time, scalable data management.
- n8n Workflows: Automates data fetching and updates seamlessly.
Practical Benefits
Recently, I faced a situation where npm packages were unexpectedly slow—turns out, it was a regional outage rather than a local problem. By quickly checking DevTools.ink, I identified the issue immediately, saving around 20 minutes of troubleshooting.
Your Feedback Matters
I’m eager to hear from fellow developers. Are there specific services you’d like integrated? How could DevTools.ink better serve your workflow? Your insights will help shape future improvements.
