I got sick of uptime monitors charging $15/mo just to send a basic Discord ping or Webhook. It costs them nothing! 😤

So, I built my own alternative in Rust 🦀.

Meet UpScout:
✅ 50 Free Monitors
✅ Slack, Discord, Telegram & Webhooks are 100% FREE
✅ Dark Mode default

Waking up to a generic "Monitor DOWN" text message sucks. You still have to open your laptop to see exactly what broke. 🤦‍♂️
So, I built a better way in UpScout. 🛠️
Just shipped: Visual Alerts! 📸
Now, when your website goes down, UpScout spins up a headless browser, takes a real-time screenshot of the error, and drops it straight into your Telegram/Discord.
Know exactly what your users are seeing before you even get out of bed. 👇

Tired of getting false downtime alerts every time you push an update? 🛑
I fixed it. Today, I'm officially launching the UpScout Public API! 🚀
Now developers & agencies can automate their entire infrastructure:
✅ Pause/Resume monitors via GitHub Actions (CI/CD)
✅ Spin up monitors & branded Status Pages programmatically
✅ Stripe-tier Docs built for a perfect Developer Experience (DX)
Stop clicking around dashboards. Automate your monitoring with a single cURL request. 👇

@ShenJiabin0303 You were 100% right, Jiabin! Talk is cheap, showing the product is everything. I just completely revamped the hero section to show the actual dashboard and incident view right up front.

Thanks for the solid advice! 🤝

Just deployed the new Open Graph meta tags so the link preview actually looks good now 😂 Building in public means fixing things live! 🛠️

I just launched the V1 today! Built the UI in React and integrated a fully custom Stripe element for seamless upgrades. 🛠️

I would love some brutal feedback from the community. Break it if you can!

@kipsnai The $15/mo Discord ping tax is one of those things you just accept until someone actually does something about it. Rust was the right call. Following this.

@KaiXCreator Hey Kaito! 👋 Building UpScout (https://t.co/OcRqod4dJi).

It's an uptime monitoring SaaS built in Rust 🦀. Our whole mission is killing the "Discord/Slack ping tax". We give premium alert channels for free because sending a webhook shouldn't cost $15/mo! 🤝

[kips @kipsnai]

@thinkroot_dev Haha 'Discord ping tax' is the exact perfect way to describe it! It drove me crazy. Glad to have you on board the journey 🤝 Let me know if you take the free tier for a spin, would love your honest thoughts on the UI and the Rust engine's speed!
