Just shipped Duration Monitoring to Upbeat! ⏱️📡

A green dashboard is useless if your cron job is stuck in a loop eating RAM. Now, Upbeat alerts you if a task starts but doesn't finish, or runs too long.

No more zombie processes or 2 AM surprises. 🧟‍♂️

I’ve been shipping a lot of features this week (dark mode, IP restrictions) and realized I needed a place to actually explain the "Why" behind it all.

The Upbeat blog is officially live. 🎙️

Wear your uptime like a badge of honor. 🎖️

I just shipped public Uptime Badges. Now you can show your users (and yourself) that your cron jobs are hitting 100% reliability. Embed them in your READMEs or status pages in one click. groovekit.io #buildinpublic #monitoring

Upbeat just got a lot more secure. 🔐

You can now restrict your heartbeat endpoints by IP address. Perfect for locked-down production environments where you only want your specific servers talking to your monitors. Pro security, simple setup.

The coffee is hot and Dark Mode is officially LIVE on Upbeat.
☕️ 🌙

I know developers live in the shadows, so it felt only right to make sure the dashboard looked just as good at 2 AM as it does at 2 PM.

IT’S LIVE. 🚀

Upbeat is officially out in the wild. I built this because I wanted a monitoring tool that was high-utility and zero-friction.

No bloat, no complex onboarding - just straightforward heartbeat monitoring for your cron jobs.

Final launch-day checklist is looking good. Just a few more cups of coffee between here and `$ > deploy`. Stay tuned.

It’s launch eve for Upbeat. 🥁

Tired of heavy tools, I built something "invisible" - one URL ping for total peace of mind.

Nervous, excited, and ready to ship tomorrow morning. See you at groovekit.io ⚡️ #buildinpublic

Most monitoring tools are more complicated than they need to be. I don't want to manage a whole infrastructure just to know if a script ran.

I built Upbeat to be the opposite. One URL ping at the end of your task. If the "beat" stops, you get a ping. That’s it.

Launching Friday. #buildinpublic

There is no worse feeling than waking up to find a critical cron job failed three days ago and you found out by a call from your biggest client. 🫠 Silence is the enemy of reliability. I’m spending my week finishing a tool to fix this. #buildinpublic
