Proberix is designed to notify you when your API endpoint or website is down. It checks from multiple geographic locations, performing simultaneous HTTP and HTTPS checks to detect server errors, unavailability, and timeouts.
Hello Product Hunt! 👋
After years in a product team at a leading monitoring company, I decided it was time to create something of my own.
For 7 years, I assisted teams in designing and building SaaS applications for website and uptime monitoring. During this period, I noticed a recurring trend in the industry: once companies received their initial investment or were acquired, their focus often shifted significantly. The priorities turned towards maximizing revenue, leading to bloated applications and a focus on metrics for investors and shareholders. Consequently, this resulted in more expensive plans and a barrage of "UPGRADE NOW!" emails for oversized packages.
These strategies frequently utilized dark UX patterns aimed not only at increasing fees but also at making it challenging for users to disengage or opt for simpler alternatives.
I set out to test an idea: developing a straightforward, user-centric app that excels in one specific area rather than offering an all-in-one solution. After testing a pilot version and seeing strong user retention, I decided to transition from the experimental stage to a more established phase. I’m excited to introduce Proberix — a monitoring tool designed to promptly alert you if your website or API goes down.
Recognizing the critical nature of downtime for SaaS owners, I believe you'll find it worthwhile to try. My aim is to create an app that appears simple yet is built to handle enterprise-level tasks without the clutter and pressure commonly seen in post-investment scenarios.
I’d greatly appreciate your feedback. Thanks for checking it out!
