Failping

Hi PH 👋, I'm Guillermo, the creator of Failping. Thank you for stopping by. After working as a developer and deciding to quit my job to pursue building things and indie hacking, I found myself particularly interested in solving the problem of managing service downtimes. Like many developers, I’ve been caught off guard by unexpected downtimes, leaving users in the dark and support channels overwhelmed. Recently I had seen many problems with other dependencies failing and many apps going down due to it with no explanation. I wanted to create a tool that not only monitors these critical services but also automates the response to minimize the impact on users and reduce the burden on support teams. Failping allows you to easily add and monitor the most commonly used third-party dependencies or your own custom endpoints. When something goes down, Failping automatically triggers a response—be it a Twitter post, a Zapier zap, or a webhook—so your users are informed instantly, and your team can focus on fixing the issue rather than fielding support tickets. The possibilities with Failping’s integrations are vast. Imagine automatically answering support tickets through Zapier, sending out emails, or even updating your status page—all without lifting a finger. As I continue to hear from users, I’m actively adding more response channels to meet the needs of the community. Here’s what Failping can do for you: ➡️ Monitor your dependencies: Keep track of third-party services and custom endpoints in real-time. ➡️ Automate your response: Trigger instant actions like posting on Twitter, initiating a Zapier zap, or sending a webhook when downtime is detected. ➡️ Keep users informed: Automatically notify users about issues, maintaining transparency and trust. ➡️ Reduce support load: Streamline communication during downtimes, allowing your support team to focus on what matters most. ➡️ Expand your capabilities: Integrate with support tools, emails, and more, with new channels being added regularly based on user feedback. I've been using and refining Failping for my own projects, and now I’m excited to share it with you all. Whether you're an indie hacker like me, a small team, or a large organization, Failping helps you stay ahead of service disruptions and keep your users in the loop. Let me know what you think and would be glad to answer any question.

Hey @guillermo_bascunana this is so helpful especially when you are working with clients where you have integrated different third party service that you rely on. Have you integrated your own system checks for those different service or are you using public available status apis? Congratulations on the launch 🚀.

Congrats on the launch, @guillermo_bascunana! Failping sounds like a game-changer for managing downtimes. Automating responses could really lighten the load for support teams. Excited to see how it evolves! 🚀

Congratulations, @guillermo_bascunana, on launching Failping! 🚀 Your approach to automating the monitoring of third-party dependencies is a game changer for developers. It’s so crucial to keep users informed during downtimes, and your tool seems to hit the nail on the head. The integration with tools like Zapier and Twitter is a clever move to streamline processes. I can see many indie hackers and teams benefiting from this. Excited to see how it evolves and what new features you’ll add based on user feedback. Wishing you great traction on PH!

Hey Guillermo, How customizable are the automated responses to suit different types of service interruptions? Congrats on the launch!

Super cool, @guillermo_bascunana! 🌟 Automating responses during downtimes is a game-changer for both users and support teams. I can totally relate to those panic moments when dependencies fail without warning. Can't wait to see how Failping evolves and what new integrations you roll out next! This is definitely a must-have tool for indie hackers trying to keep things running smoothly. Upvoted!

Congrats on the launch, Guillermo! 🎉 Failping sounds like an amazing tool for anyone who deals with downtime. As a developer, I totally relate to the chaos that unexpected outages can cause. The ability to automate responses and keep users informed seems like a game-changer. I love the integration with Twitter and Zapier—this will definitely help teams maintain transparency and reduce that overwhelming support load during downtimes. Monitoring third-party services and custom endpoints in real-time is essential for any project nowadays. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Failping evolves and the new response channels you plan to add based on user feedback! Keep up the great work. PH is lucky to have another innovator in the community!
