vibePulse getting started
vibePulse is uptime and heartbeat monitoring for indie builders and vibe coders. Probe web/API URLs, ping always-on workers, and get Telegram, Discord, or Slack alerts when something breaks. Product: https://vibepulse.goodtek.xyz
Who it is for
If you shipped a vibe-coded web app, API, Discord bot, background worker, or AI agent and you cannot tell at 3am whether it is still alive, vibePulse is for you. If adding a custom health endpoint feels heavy, or a home-server process died quietly after a reboot, combine URL probes with heartbeats.
Two ways to check
1) URL probe — register a public URL; vibePulse requests it on an interval and records status and latency. No dedicated health route required. 2) Heartbeat — always-on workers call a ping URL from vibePulse. If pings stop, we treat the process as down. Using both catches “site is up but the worker is dead” failures.
Create a URL monitor
1. Sign up at https://vibepulse.goodtek.xyz — one monitor is free with no credit card. 2. Create a monitor and paste the URL to check. 3. Set expected status (usually 200) and interval. 4. Save and confirm the first probe, then wire alerts. Tip: URLs behind login walls often fail probes. Prefer public health, landing, or status pages.
Wire a heartbeat
1. Create a heartbeat monitor in the dashboard. 2. Copy the ping URL. 3. Call it periodically from your worker, bot, or agent (or cron). Dashboard Vibe Install flows cover Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. 4. Stop pings once on purpose and confirm an alert fires. Tune the interval to the process: too short creates noise; too long delays detection.
Alert channels
On failure, latency, or silence, vibePulse can notify Telegram, Discord, or Slack. Connect a webhook or bot token, then attach it to the monitor. Send a test alert first. If nights are noisy, adjust severity and retry policy—missing alerts are worse than extra ones.
Start free
One monitor is free without a card. Aim for sign-up to first check in about five minutes. Need more monitors or team features? See plans in the dashboard. Product: https://vibepulse.goodtek.xyz Apps list: /apps
