Big PulseWatch update shipped ⚡️

Completely overhauled the UI across the landing page, dashboard, monitor pages and admin.

Also tightened up the boring-but-important stuff: CSRF protection, safer forms and better mobile accessibility.

Feels like a much stronger product now.

@HeyAliux nothing great comes from easy

[chris @chriscompiles]

A developer apparently connected @claudeai Code to a 4-year-old Android TV and told it to sort out the bloat.

It disabled junk apps, changed animations, installed a lightweight launcher and made the TV faster than when it was new.

This might be my favourite genre of AI use: "this annoys me. Fix it."

What's the most mundane you've pointed AI at?

@adrianhqs Mate, it looks really really good. If I was on a Mac I’d drop $3 easy. Any plans to bring it to Windows or Linux?

@omkarships The kids can fend for themselves 🤣

[chris @chriscompiles]

@omkarships Cause I’m spending more on subs than on my kids 🤣

[chris @chriscompiles]

@MorelLeand78015 @omkarships Makes sense! Thanks!

@StickWithNate Who’s your team?

[chris @chriscompiles]

@notesbylouis @pcshipp Do you know any good marketing/sales guys? 😉

[chris @chriscompiles]

@madebydanl There’s stuff that I don’t want to bother ChatGPT with. Absolutely bonkers. Maybe I’m embarrassed to ask, for the 5th time, how long brown rice takes to cook.

[chris @chriscompiles]

@heyadeel I’ve never spent so much on any “social” app as I do on here. I was here to do something specific…what was it? Oh look, a cool builder…

[chris @chriscompiles]

@byaarav Mega times mate. Great work. Keep hammering.

[chris @chriscompiles]

@TTrimoreau Hey Thomas, incredible stuff! What did you do when you showed up? Original content? Replies?

[chris @chriscompiles]

Friday, beer o’clock. The jobs I care about most are the ones that will keep running after I close the laptop.

That’s the whole product thesis, really. Logs tell you when something explodes. They don’t tell you when it just… never started.

If you’ve got a script that should fire over the weekend, how do you actually know it did?

[chris @chriscompiles]

@AdemolaWealth_ Really happy to click with you buddy. Have you checked it out for real on https://t.co/Uyy2m40Kns?

[chris @chriscompiles]

@AdemolaWealth_ This is totally what I’m trying to achieve…the silent stop. And it’s why I’m putting a monitor outside the thing that’s being monitored.

[chris @chriscompiles]

@samongaro_ Being alerted before a client alerts you - that’s what we’re after.

[chris @chriscompiles]

The failure mode nobody logs is the job that never started.

Logs catch exceptions. Cron “success” is often just silence. PulseWatch exists because I got tired of finding out three days later that a scraper had quietly stopped.

What’s the dumbest way one of your scripts has died without telling you?
