Introducing DevTools.ink: A Real-Time Developer Tools Status Dashboard – Your Feedback is Welcome
In the fast-paced world of software development, staying informed about the status of third-party services is crucial. Frustrated with slow updates from platforms like GitHub Actions and unsure whether outages stem from their servers or your setup, I decided to create a solution.
Meet DevTools.ink – a sleek, real-time status monitoring platform designed specifically for developers.
What Can DevTools.ink Do?
- Provides live updates for a variety of essential developer services, including GitHub, npm, Vercel, Docker Hub, and AWS.
- Offers quick-access URLs like devtools.ink/github for instantaneous checks.
- Integrates with ChatGPT to deliver immediate answers to questions like “Is GitHub down?”—saving you time and reducing guesswork.
- Adheres to a clean, ad-free interface, presenting only the most relevant status information.
Under the Hood
Built with Next.js 14 for a modern, fast frontend experience, leveraging Redis via Upstash for real-time data handling, and utilizing n8n workflows for automation and orchestration.
Use Case Spotlight
Just yesterday, I experienced some npm downtime. A quick check on DevTools.ink confirmed it was a regional issue, not my configuration—saving me approximately 20 minutes of troubleshooting.
Your Input Matters
This project is still in its early stages, and I’m eager to hear your thoughts. Which other developer tools or services would you like to see included? Any suggestions for improvements or new features?
Visit the site and share your feedback—let’s build a comprehensive, reliable status hub together!
