EventPulse: Event Routing and Phone Alerts

Searchable event feed and mobile alerts for solo founders and small SaaS teams

Problem

Indie developers often learn about failed payments from customers rather than their own system, missing the chance to act. A recent Show HN project was built exactly for this: the author wanted a searchable feed of important events and to route the ones they cared about to their phone for fast action. This pain is not unique—any solo founder or small team wants to know immediately about churn, failed charges or signup anomalies.

Solution

A lightweight event tracking and routing service. Developers send important events from their backend (signup, failed payment, cancellation, error spike), and the platform provides a searchable feed plus simple rules to push critical events to a phone (Push, SMS, Telegram, Slack). No complex observability stack needed—a few lines of code to integrate, priced by event volume.

Users

Indie developers, small SaaS teams, product managers who need business event alerts without dedicated ops

MVP

Simple HTTP API to receive events; searchable event feed UI; rule engine (e.g. 'payment failed → phone push'); multiple notification channels (Telegram, Slack, Push); free tier by event volume

Revenue

Free tier plus tiered subscription by event volume; premium channels (SMS, voice) billed separately; team collaboration and audit logs as paid features

Why now

AI lets indie developers ship faster, but business event monitoring still relies on expensive observability suites. Small teams need something lightweight, cheap and focused on business events rather than infrastructure metrics
