Built a real-time status monitor for developer tools – feedback wanted

Introducing DevTools.ink: A Real-Time Developer Tools Status Dashboard โ€” Your Feedback Needed

As developers, we often rely on multiple online servicesโ€”GitHub, npm, Vercel, Docker Hub, AWSโ€”and keeping track of their real-time status can be challenging. Frustrated with the sluggish response times of GitHub Actions and unsure if outages were platform-specific issues or local glitches, I decided to create a solution that offers instant insights.

Discover DevTools.ink
Visit the platform here: https://devtools.ink

What Does It Do?
– Provides live status updates for popular developer platforms, including GitHub, npm, Vercel, Docker Hub, and AWS.
– Features simple, easy-to-remember URLs for quick checksโ€”try devtools.ink/github to see GitHubโ€™s current status.
– Integrates with ChatGPT for conversational status inquiriesโ€”ask “Is npm down?” and get immediate feedback.
– Maintains a clean, ad-free interface focusing solely on current status information.

Behind the Scenes
Built with modern tools: Next.js 14, Redis via Upstash, and n8n workflows for automation and data updates.

How I Use It
Recently, npm was experiencing issues regionally. A quick visit to DevTools.ink confirmed it wasnโ€™t just my setup but a widespread outage, saving me around 20 minutes of troubleshooting.

Your Feedback Is Valued!
Iโ€™m eager to hear from fellow developers:
– Which platforms or services should I add next?
– How can this tool be improved to better serve your needs?

Letโ€™s enhance this resource together! Feel free to leave your suggestions and insights in the comments.
