Indie developer. I build small iOS apps and web tools — most recently downforjustmeoreveryone.com, an is-it-down checker that probes from Singapore and Boston so a geo-block doesn't look like an outage.

Nice Project!

I just submitted mine (a remote streamable-http server, is-it-down checker).

Form took about a minute, super simple!

sleeby··on Docket – Per-commit evidence records for agent-written code
All the AI tools usually add "Co-Authored-By XXX" as a trailer on commits where an agent did most of the work.

Cheap and it survives every git tool.

What does this give me beyond that?

sleeby··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
I am working on a modern is-it-down website checker that checks website statuses from two geographical locations. This was the interesting part for me, to get them working together to avoid false positives. For example, when I check website like irs.gov, ssa.gov and ups.com from Singapore they showed as down but it was only due to datacenter IPs being blocked.

The second probe in Boston fixes this and the site can now say "unreachable from Asia" versus "down for everyone". Many of the existing checkers do not do this and they are prone to show false positives.

Site does not use cookies or analytics. Pageviews are counted from the proxy access log. There are 634 curated sites so far.

There are no ads either, it's mostly been for my personal learning experience, hopefully others will find it useful.

There is even a free API and of course a MCP server.
