Sitedown

A service that alerts you whenever a web page goes offline or comes back online. Login is handled without passwords by sending a one-use login token to the provided email address. The user may then enter a list of urls to be monitored, and receive email alerts when their status changes.

The entire site is friendly to browsers that have JavaScript turned off. As a result it also works well with low-powered mobile browsers including Opera Mini.

The server is written in Node and uses the Mailgun API to send emails to users (both for login, and URL status alerts).
