One of the biggest things that drives me crazy about #SvelteKit is the lack of a single hook to intercept fetch—whether it’s server or client side. Would make life so much easier. #BuildInPublic #SimplyMonitor #Svelte
SimplyMonitor Basamiq layout wireframes
Just finished building the mobile and desktop wireframe layouts in Balsamiq! Excited to start cranking out more wireframes over the next few weeks—first up: the monitors page. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic #Balsamiq
About 90% done converting SimplyMonitor from SvelteKit to Nuxt—pretty happy with the time it took! Should be back to building new features tomorrow night. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic #Nuxt
I’ve decided to move from SvelteKit to Nuxt for the SimplyMonitor web app—made the call before I got too far in. I still think Svelte is the superior framework compared to Vue, but SvelteKit has some catching up to do compared to Nuxt and Next. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic
Is Chart.js still the go-to library for charting in web apps? I’ve used it in the past, but curious if anything newer is gaining traction these days. Would love to hear what others are using! #BuildInPublic #SimplyMonitor
I was thinking 2 free orgs max since everyone gets a default one at signup, and they might also be invited to a free company org. But I agree—don’t solve problems that don’t exist yet. I’ll probably hold off and see how people actually use it. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic
SimplyMonitor will support multiple organizations per user, each with its own plan (including free). I’m worried people might abuse this to get around free tier limits. Thinking of limiting users to 2 free orgs max. Thoughts? #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic
SimplyMonitor App Layout
Working on the web app layout and organization selector (design and high-level functionality) for SimplyMonitor.io. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic
Been heads down on the #SimplyMonitor UI for a few hours tonight—finally at a point where I can share a preview of the main layout. Would love any feedback! #BuildInPublic
I’ve been struggling with productivity lately, so I decided to shake things up and work from the excellent 24/7 work club, Switchyards, for my late-night sessions. Hoping the change of scenery helps me get back in the zone! #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic
Started working on the UI for #SimplyMonitor tonight! I have a long way to go, but the initial layout and OAuth 2.0 PKCE flows are coming together.
Stack: SvelteKit, Kinde, Font Awesome, and Tailwind CSS.
Excited to see it take shape! #BuildInPublic
Tried Ngrok & Zrok paid tiers to let my AWS Lambda agents (running globally) communicate with my local dev env—no luck. But turns out, Tailscale (a tool I already love) handled it easily and for free using Funnels! Huge win. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic #AWS #Tailscale
Haven’t had many updates on #SimplyMonitor the last few days—been heads down building the communication layer between the main backend and the agents running API monitors across different regions. Using #AWS #SQS to make it all work. Exciting progress! #BuildInPublic
Late night grind, but I finally locked down the schema for one of the trickier parts of SimplyMonitor—conditions & assertions for monitors.
Feels great to have this piece in place! Making solid progress.
#SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic
Just rolled out the new pre-launch landing page for SimplyMonitor, and it scored a perfect 100 on Ahrefs!
Super proud—check it out and let me know what you think!

I have one bug in the mobile menu that will fix up tomorrow and I might try to introduce an additional call out color. But other than that I am really happy with the way it turned out.
#SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic #Saas
SimplyMonitor’s pre-launch page is live!
I’m building an AI-powered monitoring tool for APIs, scheduled jobs, and third-party platforms. Check it out & join the waiting list.
Feedback is appreciated!

SimplyMonitor Logo
The SimplyMonitor logo is officially done! Excited to share it—what do you think? Feedback welcome! #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic #SaaS #Startup
Some of you asked for more details on the JSON-to-HTML component I’ve been working on—so here’s a demo!
Built with Svelte 5, this proof of concept helps non-technical users easily find the correct dot annotation in their API’s JSON. Let me know what you think! #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic #Svelte
Yeah, I am trying to build an interface that would allow you to click on a line of a JSON object and it will give you the dot annotation for that key.
Making it easy for non-technical people to build assertions for their API monitors. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic #SaaS
Not much to report tonight, but deep in the weeds on a Svelte component.
Working on rendering a JSON string in a clean, structured HTML format with borders to group sections and click-to-copy JSON dot annotations. A tricky but fun challenge! #BuildInPublic #Svelte #WebDev #SimplyMonitor
