I’m thinking of building an open-source alternative to Better Stack and StatusPage. It would let you monitor website or API uptime, receive alerts (via email, Slack, Discord, or webhooks), and display a branded public status page.

The goal is to offer something: - Easy to self-host with Docker - Lightweight and developer-friendly - Privacy-focused with no data collection - Free to use, with optional paid hosting and support

I’m still validating the idea and would love your input.

Would you use a tool like this? What features matter most to you in an uptime monitor?

Would you rather self-host or use a managed version?

Would you pay for hosted monitoring if it’s open source and cheaper than existing options?

Happy to hear any thoughts, feedback, or similar tools you rely on. Thanks!
