While trying to deploy, publicize and monitor a new website, we encountered some DNS issues. This was unacceptable: we were reachable less than 70% of the time!

But to solve such issue, we would first need to actually measure it and check for patterns.

So I made upp: a very simple, batteries-included uptime monitor which can just keep everything in memory (or store in an sqlite db if desired).

upp may not be as sophisticated as other uptime monitors but the interface integrates with my website's style and it's super easy to add sites to monitor, or even hack in more protocols!
