Ask HN: Product to improve monitoring and documentation: a good idea?

d--b Tuesday, December 03, 2024

Hi HN,

I have an idea for a product, but I want to test the waters before building anything.

Here is the landing page I put together today:

https://www.get-aerial.com/

The idea is to make a tool where you can draw documentation diagrams totally freeform, like: User does X, signal gets sent to DB, process X picks up files here, etc. But instead of being static, you'd have the ability to hook that diagram to actually running code.

That way your code could post hearbeats or logs to my endpoint, and you'd see the node being active in the diagram.

The idea is that this would help:

1. keep documentation diagrams up-to-date

2. allow for full-tech-stack logical monitoring

Any takers?
