Hey everyone!

I'm excited to share a tool I've created. It's designed to help you quickly check if your website is up and running smoothly from 15 different locations worldwide. It's super easy to use and really handy for anyone who wants to make sure their site is accessible and performing well globally.

I think it'll be a great resource for website owners and developers looking to keep an eye on their site's performance across various regions. Let me know what you think and if it helps you out!

Interesting idea.

How does the system design work for an app like this? Getting servers on different geographic locations and doing http requests to the destination domain or is there a smarter way.

The landing page looks awesome, however, the site just spit out the following for flingup.com:

> It is down for 100% of the world.

The above couldn't be further from the truth. The site is actually up for 100% of the world.

I tried google.com, and it gave 403/429 errors from three locations (Nuremburg, Ashburn, Helsinki), which seems surprising - maybe an issue with Hetzner?

    Yeah, try another website, for example, your personal website. Popular services often ban monitoring services due to too many requests.

news.ycombinator.com is very fast on all locations.
