Hey everyone! Engin here, founder of FoundersDeck.
Today is day one. I'm a solo developer from Germany, bootstrapped, no VC, no team. Just me, a VPS in Nuremberg, and a problem I wanted to solve.
The problem: As an EU-based founder, finding GDPR-compliant monitoring tools that don't route your data through US servers is frustrating. And once you find them, you need a separate tool for status pages, another for alerts, another for changelogs. Five tools, five invoices, five privacy policies.
FoundersDeck is my answer: one toolkit that covers what founders actually need starting with monitoring, status pages, and alerts. All on German infrastructure. No CLOUD Act. No data leaving the EU.
I'm Engin, a software developer with 13 years of experience from Germany. Today I'm launching FoundersDeck an EU-hosted monitoring and status page toolkit built specifically for SaaS founders.
The problem I solved for myself: When I needed monitoring for my own projects, every tool I found was US-hosted. EU alternatives exist, but each one is a separate tool, separate account, separate invoice. Quickly 80 +/month.
Most monitoring tools are US-hosted ā CLOUD Act, VC pressure, data leaving the EU. FoundersDeck is built differently.
We're building a 5-in-1 founder toolkit, hosted 100% in Germany.
ā Uptime monitoring (HTTP, Ping, Keyword)
ā Public status pages with custom domains
ā Multi-channel alerts
š Changelog & release notes
š Feature request & feedback board
