Introducing DevTools.ink: A Real-Time Status Dashboard for Developer Services — Seeking Community Feedback
As developers, staying informed about the status of critical tools and platforms is essential for maintaining productivity and minimizing downtime. Recognizing the gaps in existing monitoring solutions, I recently developed DevTools.ink, a live status tracking platform designed specifically for developer-centric services.
About DevTools.ink
Built to provide instant insights across popular developer platforms, DevTools.ink offers:
- Live Monitoring: Track the operational status of services such as GitHub, npm, Vercel, Docker Hub, AWS, and more.
- Quick Access URLs: Easily check specific services through simple, dedicated links like devtools.ink/github.
- Instant Responses with AI: Integrated ChatGPT functionality allows users to query the status with natural language questions, getting immediate answers (e.g., “Is GitHub down?”).
- Clean, Ad-Free Interface: Focused solely on delivering accurate status updates without distractions.
Technology Stack
This project leverages modern tools, including:
– Next.js 14 for the frontend
– Redis via Upstash for real-time data management
– n8n workflows for automating status checks
Real-World Use Case
Recently, when npm experienced regional outages, I used DevTools.ink to verify the issue quickly. Rather than wasting time troubleshooting, I identified the cause in minutes, saving valuable productivity.
Call for Feedback
I’m eager to hear from fellow developers about how this tool can be improved. Are there other services or tools you’d like to monitor? Your suggestions will help shape future updates and broaden its usefulness.
Feel free to explore the platform at https://devtools.ink, and let me know your thoughts!
Stay informed, stay productive.
