Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

I'm scratching an itch. I'm a huge fan of system monitoring and alerting when they go down. It allows the engineers in charge of the production systems to sleep well knowing that things are working.

There's a gap for email monitoring. How many times did you have to awkwardly explain why the notification emails in your app stopped sending a month ago? Or that time when the weekly summary report did no go out on Friday, and on Monday you were chewed out by the boss? Or when Jerry went on vacation and neglected to send the weekly marketing campaign email.With

[I'm building https://wasitsent.com - you get an alert when your emails *stop* sending. It's like an uptime monitor for email sending. If something breaks your email sending process, we'll let you know.

If you would like to see such a service, or have feedback (positive AND negative) about it, please let me know. If you heard of other companies offering something like this, I'd love to know as well.

We use a similar email monitoring tool from https://ert.digitconsulting.net/ It integrates with our RMM. So there is definitely a demand for a service like this. But I would expect that paying customers will want it to integrate with a monitoring platform, more than just a message on slack/teams

Wondering if you'd be willing to share how much you were paying for this service? Can you email me at krystian@wasitsent.com?
