Limeleaf Worker Collective

We are thrilled to announce the fourth member-owner of Limeleaf--the one and only @mubashariqbal.com , creator of @blueskydirectory.com! Read all about it at limeleaf.coop/blog/welcome.... #co-ops

Uptime monitoring tools have too many features, confusing pricing, and aren't built for small teams or indies. So we built probes.dev. Add a URL, we ping it, and we tell you when it's acting flaky or goes down. $5 a month gets you 5 probes w/ status pages. Start probing today!

Now we have a much needed Docs page to explain things more. probes.dev/docs/ #GoLang #HTTP #Monitoring #Documentation #BuildInPublic

Some early feedback about probes.dev was folks wanted to also see a traditional timeseries of latency over time, so here we go... #GoLang #HTTP #Monitoring #BuildInPublic

Just looks so good and its quite informative! probes.dev coming soon! #DNS #TCP #HTTP #GoLang

Another set of changes went out for probes.dev 1. "Past Hour" option to view your charts for the...wait for it...past hour ;-) 2. Geography map got a speed boost to render instantly 3. Alert flapping detection so a site triggering many down/up alerts will not spam you #GoLang #HTTP #BuildInPublic

Sneak preview of a Timings Breakdown in probes.dev to see where the average time is spent during a request. #GoLang #HTTP #Monitoring

It has been about 24 hours since probes.dev went into private beta and the metrics have shown nothing exciting. It is just humming along. #GoLang #HTTP #Monitoring #BuildInPublic

And probes.dev is in private beta with everything working. Public beta coming soon! #GoLang #HTTP #Monitoring

Public status page progress for probes.dev is looking good. Although, I might try to use the green, blue, purple shades to see how that looks instead of the standard green, yellow, red. :shrug: #HTTP #GoLang #Monitoring

We're getting so close to launching probes.dev I can taste it! Another week or so of testing, setting up infra/billing environments and we'll be ready to go! #BuildInPublic #HTTP #Monitoring #Bootstrapped

Very pretty.

Now we have some Prometheus metrics being exported so we can keep an eye on the health of probes.dev #GoLang #SQLite #Prometheus #Observability

I got billing set up and working for probes.dev so we're getting close to public release! #HTTP #BuildInPublic

At Limeleaf, we #buildinpublic. probes.dev will be simple, affordable web service monitoring for solo hackers and small teams. #Developers - are we on the right track here? Missing anything? Would you pay $5/month to monitor 5 sites and/or API endpoints? Tell us in the comments. #webdev

In honor of #MayDay, @henhouse.coop is open for beta testers. More info at at henhouse.coop!

Extra! Extra! A new episode of the Limeleaf Podcast has taken to the ether. Stephen Giordano from Interstitial Technology and Ethan Winn from Obran Cooperative join us to talk about one of our favorite topics: worker #coops! Tune in now at limeleaf.coop/podcast/epis... !

🙏 to Stephen Giordano (interstitial.coop) and Ethan Winn (orban.coop) for joining us to record a podcast episode, "Why Your Tech Startup Should be a Worker Co-Op." Episode and link will drop here later this week. Previous episodes at limeleaf.coop/podcast #coops #startups #founders

henhouse.coop is now hosted on its own platform. #Henhouse #StaticHosting #TechCoop

I got a basic management API built for #Henhouse to be able to programmatically manage profiles, teams, and gather site disk usage information so an external billing system can be built to use this information. #StaticHosting #TechCoop

Our friends are launching a new #marketplace for #cooperatives! Get early access at solidarityecono.my

Woot! #AtmosphereConf

#henhouse needs $5k to register as a legal co-op, lease servers, and finish the customer portal. It's a small ask by design. We know how to stretch a dollar, and every dollar is publicly tracked at opencollective.com/henhouse. Get involved! #degoogle

The latest episode of the #Limeleaf podcast has dropped! We talked small tech with @coreysnipes.com . Put it in your ears at limeleaf.coop/podcast/epis..., subscribe to the feed at limeleaf.coop/podcast/rss...., or search for it in your favorite #podcast app.

We're building #HenhouseWebHosting in public and welcome contributions! If you want to help with coding and testing, or with reviewing our draft legal agreements, post in the comments. We will also take money at opencollective.com/henhouse/ 🙂 #buildinpublic

Shout out to @extremely.website, our most recent henhouse.coop member-owner! Want to be a legend like him? Head on over to opencollective.com/dashboard/he...

Almost every web hosting provider relies on Amazon, Google, or Microsoft infrastructure. We're creating Henhouse to operate on independent servers owned by small businesses and co-ops. And we made Henhouse a co-op, too! Learn more and contribute at opencollective.com/henhouse #noBigTech

Very early stages, but at least we have the domain and marketing site up. henhouse.coop #Henhouse #StaticHosting #TechCoop

Automatic TLS cert provisioning are working via @letsencrypt.bsky.social using Go's `autocert` pkg (pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x...) so folks that sign up to use #Henhouse can have certificates for their own custom domains. #Henhouse #TLS #LetsEncrypt #ACME #GoLang #BuildInPublic
