Introducing DevTools.ink: A Real-Time Developer Tools Status Dashboard – Your Feedback Matters
In the fast-paced world of software development, having quick insight into the status of critical developer services is essential. Frustrated by sluggish update times from platforms like GitHub Actions and the uncertainty of whether the issue was on my end or theirs, I decided to build a dedicated monitoring tool. The result is DevTools.ink, a streamlined, real-time status dashboard designed for developers and teams on the go.

What Does DevTools.ink Offer?
- Instant Status Updates: Keep tabs on the health of essential services such as GitHub, npm, Vercel, Docker Hub, AWS, and more—all in real time.

Behind the Scenes: Tech Stack
My project is built using modern technologies including:
– Next.js 14 for a robust, React-based frontend
– Redis (via Upstash) for fast, scalable data storage and retrieval
– n8n workflows for automation and smooth data integration
Real-World Impact
For example, just yesterday, npm was experiencing regional outages. By consulting the dashboard, I confirmed it wasn’t a local issue, saving me valuable debugging time. This quick check enabled me to focus on other priorities, demonstrating how a simple, real-time status monitor can streamline development workflows.
Your Feedback & Suggestions
As this project is still evolving, I’d love input from fellow developers. Are there any other tools or platforms you frequently monitor? What features would make this tool even more valuable for your daily work?
