Not exactly a "product" but yes, recently added an uptime notifier service in the sea of 1000s of these services.

Trying to keep it simple and tiny for now, would like to know what others think

I like it, nice and simple. I guess we could do a script ourselves, but $1 makes sense and I'd probably donate if it catches downtime a few times. It probably acts as a quick test too, in case we break something while pushing to production at 8 PM.

Oh definitely, it's a straightforward implementation with a few additions to avoid sending too many emails (both to not irritate the user and to save me from email sending costs)

I wanted to build something like this, you managed to make the ux 10 times more awesome than I could have imagined, well done

Thanks! I'm glad you like it :)
