One silent failure cost us 6 hours of revenue. One alert pays for a year of NotiLens.

Six hours.

That's how long our payment webhook was silently failing before a user messaged us.

What are the 5 tools you simply couldn't do your work without?

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

  1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

  2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

  3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

  4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

  5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts

When your backend misbehaves - you'll know first

Building NotiLens - smart monitoring and observability for solo founders and small teams.

most monitoring tools tell you when your server goes down. NotiLens tells you when:

  • signups stopped at 2am but the server was fine

  • payment initiated but never completed

  • cron job ran but processed zero records

  • ETL process ran but the flow broke mid-way, records never landed

  • AI agent looped for 3 hours burning credits

  • one client's pipeline went quiet while others ran fine
