I run a handful of websites (like this one) and services. These aren't mission critical applications, but I would like to know within the day if something goes down. I previously had no monitoring, but just if I noticed it was down i'd do something. This used to be a bigger problem when I was running my website using the ghost engine on a 1GB VPS and it would run out of memory and crash. Now thankfully I don't see much if any down time, but id still like to monitor it just in case.

That's the idea behind ping. Let me know within the day if my website is down.

With the app I can add a bunch of URL's that I want to monitor and put a widget on my home or Lock Screen and I can have continuous monitoring at set intervals.
