Cold starts killing your app demos ? π€
I kept running into cold starts on my hosted projects β especially with platforms like Vercel and Render that sleep apps during inactivity.
So I built Pinger β a free, open-source tool that sends automated pings to your app to keep it awake.
β’ No signup, no tracking
β’ Serverless stack: Python + Flask + Redis + Vercel
β’ Scheduled with GitHub Actions (like a modern cron job)
β’ Just add your URL and forget about it
Try it live: https://pinger-evinjohnns-projects.vercel.app/
Source code: https://github.com/evinjohnn/pinger
Itβs a simple fix that solved a real problem for me.
Happy to hear feedback β and feel free to contribute if you have ideas!
