This is so cool. I got a health check up and running in seconds. We're gonna be trying it out :)

- What are your plans on pricing after beta?

- ETA on sharing dashboards/checks, or some form of team/organization functionality?

- UX Feedback: I dislike the search bar. It's very non-obvious that it's an input, barely even looks clickable.

- General feedback: No obvious way to customize or even view check frequency. Are they every minute? Every 24 hours? I can't tell.

- Bug: I broke webhook test with an ipv6 address. Can I add custom headers to the webhook?

Thanks!

- You'll get a single check for free for life and after that we'll be charging $5 per check / month.

- Teams are coming in the next week or so, we can add you to the whitelist for early access.

- feedback has been relayed to the team, thanks.

- Checks run every 30 seconds, we go into detail in the docs: https://app.opsee.com/docs/checks.

- Unfortunately we don't support IPv6 or custom headers on webhooks quite yet, but we'll put them in the queue to implement.

Continuing my thoughts for earlier, I personally see a need for less-frequent monitoring checks of various kinds. For example, if I could set up a daily check that my SSL certificate is valid for at least 2 more weeks, your service would warn me when my certs are about to expire.

SSL-related asserts would be awesome in general.

Thanks! I'll wait for teams, no need to whitelist me.

$5/check/month gets very expensive, very fast if I want to make a lot of use of your product. Would you consider making single-region checks available for a lower price? eg. in the cases where I care less about latency and more about general availability.

I share the same feeling. $5/check/month is really expensive. but what I realized is that this is no replacement for functional tests.
