PassPing: Website Uptime Monitoring Right in Your Wallet
I’m excited to introduce PassPing – an experimental approach to website uptime monitoring that delivers your site’s status directly to your pocket via Apple Wallet.
What is PassPing?
PassPing reimagines traditional website monitoring by sending real-time uptime updates through Apple Wallet passes. Rather than checking yet another dashboard or waiting for email alerts, you can simply glance at your wallet to see if your website is up and running.
The concept is straightforward: create a wallet pass for your website and receive instant updates on your site’s status, right alongside your boarding passes, event tickets, and loyalty cards.
How It Works
Getting started with PassPing is simple:
- Create Your Pass: Visit passping.worotyns.ovh and enter your website’s URL.
- Add to Wallet: Download the generated pass and add it to your Apple Wallet.
- Monitor Instantly: Your pass will update in real-time, showing your website’s status at a glance.
Your wallet pass provides the following key metrics:
- Overall SLA: Current uptime percentage (e.g., 100%).
- Detailed Breakdowns: Uptime stats for the past 7, 14, and 30 days.
- Status Indicators: Visual cues showing if your site is UP or DOWN.
- Last Incident: Timestamp of the most recent downtime.
- Response Time: Current ping response times.
Wallet Notifications: Whenever your website’s status changes (Up → Down or Down → Up), you’ll receive instant push notifications directly from Apple Wallet—no need for a separate app!
The Visual Language of Status
PassPing uses a color-coding system to make status updates instantly clear:
- Green Pass: Your website is healthy and operational.
- Red Pass: Your website is experiencing downtime or issues.
The pass background color changes based on your website’s current status, making it immediately apparent whether everything is running smoothly or if attention is needed.
