Open Source Friday with Upptime!

()

GitHub Accelerator Program

GitHub Accelerator is a program that provides financial support and mentorship to open-source maintainers for 10 weeks.
The application deadline is next Tuesday.

Uptime is an open-source uptime monitor and status page built using GitHub Actions, GitHub Pages, and GitHub Issues.
It was created by Anand to monitor his company's back-end API infrastructure.
Uptime leverages GitHub Actions' free plan for open-source maintainers to run cron jobs and make network requests to check website availability.
When a website goes down, Uptime automatically creates an issue in the GitHub repo and uses the data to generate a status page.
To implement Uptime, users can create a new repository from the Uptime template, add a required secret (personal access token) to allow Uptime to make requests on their behalf using the GitHub API, and follow the documentation to set up monitoring.

Uptime tracks the uptime and response time of websites and services.
It can be easily set up on GitHub by creating a repository and adding an environment secret with a GitHub personal access token.
Uptime uses a YAML file to configure the websites and services to be tracked.
GitHub Actions is used to automatically update the uptime status and generate reports.
The uptime status is displayed on the repository's README and a dedicated website.
Uptime can be customized and extended with various features and integrations.
Notifications can be set up to alert users when a website or service goes down.

Uptime is supported by the creator's full-time job and does not currently have any GitHub sponsors.
The creator encourages users to support open-source projects and mentions Curl as an example of a widely used and important open-source project.
Detailed documentation is available on the Uptime website and users are encouraged to contribute to the project by creating issues or pull requests.

Uptime is an open-source project that helps users monitor the status of their websites and applications.
It is built using TypeScript, JavaScript, Markdown, and Swell.
Uptime is a full-stack TypeScript application.
The project is hosted on GitHub and uses GitHub Actions, Issues, and Pages.
Anand built Uptime to meet his own needs and later expanded its features based on community input.
Uptime has a contributing guide and welcomes contributions from the community.

Anand manages his time by time blocking and using various tools such as Notion, Calendar, and Linear.
Uptime is self-funded, and Anand does not accept sponsorships to ensure that he can prioritize the needs of the community.
