Introducing DevTools.ink: A Real-Time Status Dashboard for Developer Tools
In the world of software development, staying informed about the health of essential platforms is crucial. Frustrated by the sluggish response of GitHub Actions and uncertain about whether it was an external platform issue or a local glitch, I decided to create a solution that offers immediate visibility into the status of various developer services.
Today, I’m excited to introduce DevTools.ink, a streamlined status monitoring web application designed for developers like you.
Discover DevTools.ink:
- Instant Monitoring: Keep tabs on the real-time status of popular services such as GitHub, npm, Vercel, Docker Hub, AWS, and more.
- User-Friendly Access: Use simple, dedicated URLs like devtools.ink/github for quick checks.
- Enhanced Accessibility: Leverage ChatGPT integration to get instant answers (“Is npm down?”) without navigating away or hunting for updates.
- Clean & Ad-Free: Experience a pure, clutter-free interface focused solely on vital status information.
Technical Foundations:
Built with the latest Next.js 14 framework, leveraging Redis (via Upstash) for real-time data handling, and orchestrating status checks through n8n workflows for reliable automation.
Real-World Impact:
Recently, when npm services experienced regional outages, a quick visit to DevTools.ink confirmed the issue wasn’t on my end, saving me valuable troubleshooting time. This kind of immediate insight can significantly streamline your development process.
Seeking Your Feedback:
I’d love to hear from fellow developers! Are there any other tools or services you’d like integrated into this platform? Your suggestions will help enhance its usefulness and coverage.
