One is a Docker monitoring service, other is a REST API monitoring service. Anyone interested just by these titles?:)

REST API monitoring and testing (yeah I know cert is expired:)

Shameless plug but I created an app exactly for this purpose: https://www.apilope.com
You can schedule test flows and validate responses as well.
Edit: my cert is expired, I’ll fix this (now that I have a lot of time to spare:)

Decided to reverse my long-time TODO list and start from the bottom because I realised I'd never get there otherwise. It feels so good so I advise everyone to go and do the same.
For me it looks like this, I'm working on a bootstrapped simple SaaS tool for devops (docker container monitoring):
- Clojure so I'm learning FP and Lisp
- Clojurescript/Reagent so I'm learning SPA/react
- MongoDB so I'm learning NoSQL
- Vim so I'm learning editing like a boss
- SaaS so I'm learning marketing (SEO/Blogging to start with)

For this reason I created https://www.apilope.com - you can trigger hosted API tests from your CI workflow as well.

I see that it's trending but without any comments - so allow me a shameless plug, I created a tool to monitor my APIs (can schedule calls, do response content checks, send alerts etc): http://www.apilope.com
If you drop me a line after you signed up I can flag you as a demo user that's free forever - or at least until you want to pay or cancel :)
Re:Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?
on Friday October 19, 2018 @02:47PM (#18258988)
I’m working on http://www.apilope.com - I think it’s cool for monitoring rest apis with test cases, which was kind of a scratch my own itch thingie.
Re:Ask HN: Best project management practices in 2018?
on Wednesday February 14, 2018 @02:02PM (#16378315)
I'd say for starters, Scrum because it gives you a framework. After you get used to the Agile methods, just tailor it or switch to Kanban.
I jumped on the Scrum bandwagon in 2008. It was refreshing after so many years of waterfall! I have introduced it in 3-5 companies during the years, but sometimes it just feels rather restricting (after you get used to it) in recent years we started leaning towards Kanban-style, but we are still using methods like planning poker, checking velocity, and doing standups. And of course if you're not remote, you still need a taskboard - shameless plug, we're selling reusable storycards for this!

Mine is a REST API monitoring service - because I needed one!
Going to rework the landing page a bit to make it more benefit/monitoring oriented, I don’t think ‘testing’ is compelling enough as a keyword.

Getting users on my just-launched REST API Monitoring SaaS:
Initially I thought it'd be easy to acquire users since I'm speaking to my own kind - but it's pretty hard to get into developers' head :) No instagram influencers can be used, that's for sure.
Anybody have any ideas?

It's really nice tool indeed, I much prefer this to Paw and Postman strictly due to UX. Less tabs, less popups etc, easier to navigate. I don't mind Electron either.
I know it's shameless plug but I can't resist sharing my own tool that I created for monitoring REST apis, if anyone is interested: http://www.apilope.com
Re:Paw – macOS HTTP client for testing and describing APIs

Also, if you want make test API calls as part of your CI process (or just want to monitor them regularly), I created my own tool: http://www.apilope.com. I always missed such features from REST API tools!

Wow, reading through all of that (and how you put it in perspective) felt like I'm waking up from Hibernation (pun intended). Solid advices, thanks a lot!
Ask HN: I've been away from Java for 10 years. How do I get back?
I did Java for 5 years and left right before Generics was introduced, things were mainly JBoss, J2EE, Struts. Spring started gaining momentum. Since then I did 7 years of project management, and 3 years of python/django lately.Basically I want to get back in the game and be able to jump in a mid level Java position and work effectively. I'm interested in language recap and top 5 current...
Ask HN: How do you split your SaaS features into plans?
I'm doing a side project which purpose is to experiment if I can build a SaaS product and maybe earn some dollars. The app is a web-based REST api monitoring/tester tool, and I've been struggling with splitting features into packages that actually makes sense. The core features are like having API calls defined with parameters and assertions as cases, and then you can run them in every...
