Show HN: Kuvasz – an open-source uptime and SSL monitoring service A few months ago I took out my side project - an uptime & SSL monitoring service - from the drawer. I've decided to give it a new life and completely overhauled it, added a lot of new feature, and most importantly, a UI.

Highlights

- configurable uptime & SSL monitoring

- Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty & E-mail notifications (more to come!)

- fully-fledged REST API

- a responsive, modern & fast UI

- monitors are optionally configurable via a single YAML file, or you can choose to use either the UI or the API to maintain them

- Cloud-native, distributed as amd64 and arm64 images

- Only one dependency: a PostgreSQL database to connect to

- Extensive examples in the docs

- stable memory usage (max ~360MB) & great performance

It's written in Kotlin, under the hood it uses Micronaut with Netty, jOOQ, and PostgreSQL, and the server-side-rendered UI is built with kotlinx.html, Alpine.js, and htmx.

It's called Kuvasz (pronounce as [ˈkuvɒs]), and you can find the repository here: https://github.com/kuvasz-uptime/kuvasz

And the website with the extensive documentation here: https://kuvasz-uptime.dev

Show HN: HNping 'remind me later' for HN via web push

Show HN: HNping 'remind me later' for HN via web push HNping lets you set a reminder for a HN post. You get a web push browser notification when it&#x27;s time, and clicking it takes you back to the post. That&#x27;s it.<p>I built HNping because I kept stumbling on HN posts where the discussion still had to get going. Wanted to revisit, but didn&#x27;t want to create even more bookmarks&#x2F;etc I&#x27;ll just forget about. So I created a &#x27;remind me later&#x27; tool (like the reddit bot) to fix this for myself.<p>To use it: go to hnping.com, enable notifications, and drag the bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar. Then click it on any HN post to set a reminder (5 minutes to 1 week). No personal info needed - you just get a UUID that serves as your account.<p>I tried to make it as simple as possible.<p>It&#x27;s built on a Cloudflare Worker with D1 for data storage and uses Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notifications.
