PerkyDash - Website monitoring with instant emergency status pages

Built this after my SaaS went down at 2am with no way to tell customers what was happening. Most monitoring tools just ping your URL — they say "UP" while your checkout page is completely broken. PerkyDash catches what others miss: visual diff spots layout breaks, API flow monitoring tests real user journeys, and status pages are built in, not a paid add-on. The killer feature? A free emergency status page — live in 60 seconds, no signup. Your fire extinguisher for when everything goes down.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Luke (@lideroocom), indie maker with 30 years in software development. Been building and shipping products since before many of you were born 😅 I built PerkyDash after a painful experience: my SaaS went down at 2am, customers were tweeting angry messages, and I had NO way to communicate quickly. Setting up Statuspage.io? 30+ minutes. Writing individual emails? Chaos. Tweeting "we're on it"? Unprofessional. So I built the tool I wished existed: 🚨 **60 seconds to live status page** Enter your domain → Get a shareable link → Post updates No signup. No credit card. No setup. **How it works:** 1. Your site goes down (it happens to everyone) 2. Go to perkydash.com/tools/emergency-status-page 3. Enter your domain 4. You have a live status page to share with customers **After the emergency:** The free tool saves you during the crisis. But what about preventing the next one? PerkyDash offers full monitoring to catch issues BEFORE customers notice: → Uptime monitoring (HTTP, ping, TCP) → Process flow monitoring (login, checkout, signup) → Visual diff monitoring (catch broken UI) → SSL & domain expiry alerts → Heartbeat/cron job monitoring → And more... 8 monitoring types in one dashboard **The model:** Emergency status pages = Free forever Full monitoring + permanent status pages = From $9.99/mo Built for indie makers who don't have a DevOps team but still want professional incident communication AND proactive monitoring. Would love feedback: - What would make you use this during your next outage? - Which monitoring type matters most to you? Follow the journey: @lideroocom on X Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
