What DevTools.ink Offers

• Instant, real-time updates on the status of popular developer platforms such as GitHub, npm, Vercel, Docker Hub, and AWS.

Built With Modern Tech

The platform leverages cutting-edge tools and frameworks, including Next.js 14 for the frontend, Redis via Upstash for fast caching, and n8n workflows for automation and integrations.

Real-World Use Case

Just yesterday, npm was experiencing regional hiccups. A quick visit to DevTools.ink confirmed the issue was regional, not related to my setup — saving me around 20 minutes of troubleshooting. Having this immediate insight proves invaluable during busy development days.
