So I have many, but sold a few too. Right now I am in that uptime monitoring service but I went a different route and just made it 100% free. I started https://boxwatch.app awhile ago, was going to go pay but then I sold another business and said screw it.. 100% free. I am currently working on a companion ios/android app to go with the service but still totally free.

oh good luck, it's a tough space to be. some indie makers have managed to make it work (like healthchecks.io for example) but it requires patience and dedication, esp dealing with some entitled people on the free plan.

btw, your docs pages look malformed; seems like markdown metadata slipping into the page content: https://boxwatch.app/docs/api/authentication

ahhh thank you. Just went through the huge process of converting to 100% free. [fixed] :)
