Here's what landed this week: Scheduled tasks can now be added to server monitors, Lighthouse checks now run from a consistent server per continent so results stay comparable, and a bunch of API and port check fixes. 🔥 ohdear.app/changelog/2...

Quick recap of the week: Refreshed designs across the feature pages, a clearer GDPR FAQ on procurement and data processing agreements, and a fix for status page logo uploads that always failed validation. 🔥 ohdear.app/changelog/2...

This week at Oh Dear: Our MCP server gained a pile of new tools for downtime, maintenance windows and status pages, Sitemap alerts got a consecutive-failure threshold, and Lighthouse checks now actually run daily. 🔥 ohdear.app/changelog/2...

Two ways to do it: upload a cert + private key from your internal PKI, org CA, or Cloudflare Origin CA. Or download an origin cert we generate & trust it in Cloudflare. The handshake validates either way. ✅

Putting your status page behind Cloudflare in Full (strict) mode? A self-signed origin cert gets rejected & your visitors hit Error 526. You can now upload your own TLS certificate instead. 🔒

We spent way too long building an "AI-powered framework" to help you decide if you need website monitoring. The result might shock you. 😱 (Or not 😂 )

Have you tried our new CLI tool yet? When paired with your favourite agent, it unlocks a world of powerful options 🔥

Lighthouse scores drift quietly. A deploy adds 200KB, a third-party tag slips in, and weeks later your search rankings start sliding. Oh Dear runs Lighthouse daily and alerts you the moment a score drops. 📉 ohdear.app/features/li...

The padlock breaks the moment a single http:// asset loads on an https:// page. Users may not notice, but browsers do. Oh Dear crawls daily and lists every offending URL, tag, and asset. ohdear.app/docs/featur...

Managing dozens or hundreds of monitors? We have an open-source cookbook for that. Bulk-create sites from a template, sync status pages with tagged sites, generate monthly snapshots, all via the API. ohdear.app/news-and-up...

Your IP can land on a blocklist and you'd never know. Email starts hitting spam folders, password resets vanish, and DNS filters quietly block the site for some users. Oh Dear checks 11 major blocklists daily. ohdear.app/features/dn...

We wrote up how we made Oh Dear's dashboard fast: finding the slow queries, fixing them with the right indexes, regression-testing with phpunit-query-count-assertions. Still holds up. ohdear.app/news-and-up...

What's something you wish you'd been monitoring before it bit you? Domain expiry, cron drift, cert chain order, something weirder?

This was a big one: 349 files changed, 2,718 additions & 1,531 deletions across 8 user stories. We used Claude as a co-author to handle the repetitive Tailwind class work, while Nick focused on what AI can't do: making it actually look good 😂

Oh Dear @ohdearapp.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

No more flashbangs when checking alerts at 2am. We went beyond just slapping dark:bg-gray-900 on everything. Our designer Nick hand-picked every color, tuned contrast ratios & border opacities until it felt right.

Dark Mode is here! 🔥 The Oh Dear dashboard now supports dark mode. Choose between Light, Dark, or System (follows your OS preference). Your choice saves to your account, so it follows you across devices & sessions.

On the uptime check pages, we've added easy copy-to-clipboard actions for mobile. Notice something is down & want to share it with a colleague across Slack? Get instant access to the reproducable curl command & the HTTP response headers. 🔥

Oh Dear @ohdearapp.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

The part we're most proud of: when you get an alert on your phone and tap through to Oh Dear, all the diagnostic info is right there. Clearly visible, no pinching or zooming. Because let's be honest, that's when mobile actually matters most. When something is down and you need answers fast.

Oh Dear @ohdearapp.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Navigation was the first big decision. We replaced the horizontal navbar with a floating action button fixed to the bottom-right corner. Tap it, and you get a full-screen overlay menu. Everything stays within thumb's reach. No stretching to the top of the screen.

Oh Dear @ohdearapp.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

We touched over 160 Blade templates. This wasn't a "add some media queries and call it a day" project. For most pages, we built two completely separate layouts and show the right one based on screen size. The desktop version stays exactly as it was. No compromises on either side.

Oh Dear @ohdearapp.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Oh Dear is now fully mobile-friendly. 🥳 Yes, it took us way too long. 😂 We've been a desktop-first monitoring tool since 2018. But when we finally decided to do it, we did it properly.

New notification destination: ntfy 🔔 Open-source, self-hostable push notifications with iOS and Android apps. Oh Dear now sends all your monitoring alerts straight to ntfy. Your server, your notifications, your rules. ohdear.app/docs/notifi...

Did you know we've been publishing our changelog for over a year? Every week, it shows a list of improvements, bugfixes and new features. This week, we tweaked the layout a bit so it's more clear what the highlights of each release were. 💪

Your domain is on a blocklist. Your emails are landing in spam. Your site is unreachable for anyone using AdGuard, Cloudflare Family, or Quad9. Most teams find out weeks later, from customer complaints.

Oh Dear @ohdearapp.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

We've improved performance change detection for sites with naturally spiky response times. 📈 If your site regularly spikes between fast and slow responses, we now recognize that as your normal pattern and only alert when the recent average actually breaks out of that range.

Oh Dear @ohdearapp.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

We know our job is to alert you when things stop working, but we do hope we won't be sending too many alerts these holidays! 😇 From our entire team: we wish you an uneventful, calm and stable few weeks for your websites to get you through Christmas & New Years without too many notifications. 🔔
