Cntgur

Every time I run a small script with just three lines in the console, I think how great it would be to have a tool to track the script's progress. Especially when it's a script that might run for hours – there's little joy in checking the console every 30 seconds asking, "How's it going?". And what if you need to step away, and the console isn’t accessible? You might say there’s Prometheus and Grafana for this. Sure, but they take up gigabytes of memory, need to be installed, and require configuration. It's overkill for a simple three-line script. So what's the solution? That's why I built cntgur.com. (Think of it like imgur.com but for metrics.) Now I can check the progress of a script (or any other number, like temperature, Bitcoin price, or database size) directly in my browser. The key feature of cntgur.com is anonymity. Cntgur doesn’t know or care what the number you send represents.

Sounds like a handy tool, especially for those quick scripts. I like the simplicity without all the heavy setup like Prometheus. Congrats on the launch.

@anton_osenenko hey. I really love this concept and looks like that is exactly what I need. Thank you One quick question is does this tool require users to have advanced coding skills? Cuz I'm just starting out with simple scripts, I'd like to know whether that would be a potential blocker for me to use it.

I like the way you've made it anonymous—super smart.😄 Thanks for sharing!

Cntgur sounds like a fantastic and lightweight solution for anyone running long scripts or monitoring data without the need for complex and resource-heavy tools like Prometheus or Grafana! It’s great that you’re prioritizing simplicity and anonymity—sometimes all we need is a straightforward way to track progress without jumping through hoops. The ability to monitor things like script progress, temperature, or even Bitcoin prices directly in a browser is a game-changer for developers and users alike. It saves time and effort while keeping everything accessible from anywhere. Congrats on building such a practical tool! I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate the convenience of cntgur. Looking forward to seeing it in action!

This is such a game changer, @anton_osenenko! Imagine running a long IoT process that measures environmental data. With Cntgur, you can send those metrics anonymously and keep tabs on everything from air quality to temperature fluctuations—all without babysitting the console! It’s like having a personal dashboard at your fingertips. Can't wait to try it out! 🚀
