We've updated our website monitoring tool with a free plan, looking for feedback

Hacker News - Sat, 04/12/2025 - 1:16pm

Hey everyone,

Since January, we've been working hard on Monitlog. Recently, we've added a free plan, updated our pricing, improved our webpage monitoring AI, and revamped our landing page with updated brand messaging and design. We're looking for feedback so we can continue improving our product.

For context, Monitlog is a web monitoring tool that scans webpages for changes, generates summaries using AI, and notifies users via email and SMS. You can check it out here: https://monitlog.com

If you find it useful and intend to upgrade to a paid plan, we're offering a 50% discount code to our early users.

Every piece of feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Ask HN: What has helped you transitioning from a technical to a team lead role?

Hacker News - Sat, 04/12/2025 - 1:16pm

Hello everybody, About 4 months ago I got the opportunity to become the so called team lead of our dev team… and this is something I really underestimated :D

Previously I was (and still am in the team) a full stack developer with strengths on the technical side as well as very good problem understanding and solving skills.

After the previous months I more and More understood that in my role I have to manage a team, talk more with stakeholders and getting more involved into “politics”, which is not something I’ve did previously very much.

I know that I have to improve my communication skills, getting better in understanding how I can protect my team and how to lead my team to get out of disruptions or things that are impacting our team, but sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed. It is definitely a challenge, but one that I want to grow on.

Thereby I am asking: Has someone of you being in a similar position and what helped you to become the team lead that you wanted to have? Were there useful resources, books, programs that taught you valuable skills for this kind of role?

Thank you :)
