Your side project deserves monitoring too. It's making $0/mo but your users still expect it to work.
You can't justify $20/mo monitoring for a project that doesn't make money. So you don't monitor it at all. Then one day you check and it's been down for a week. Sound familiar?
I built Upwatch to fix that. 10 monitors, email alerts, and a status page — free. Set up in 30 seconds.
Your side project has users. They just don't tell you when it's broken — they leave.
That Show HN post brought traffic. That Product Hunt launch got signups. But if your app goes down between launches, those users silently churn. No bug report. No email. Just gone.
Three steps. Under a minute.
