UpUp – Free Check
I’m one of the owners and partners of UpUp, a company that a System Administrator friend of mine dreamed up. We do server monitoring as a hobby. On the first release of the design, one feature that my partner wanted to see was a “Free Check” page. The requirements included passing the url to check in the upup.com url as if it were a webpage:
http://upup.com/http://google.com
I almost always work with a team when executing dev projects, but for UpUp I’m the sole developer. I configured the mod_rewrite settings and developed the web services, front-end ajax requests, and UI html/javascript to make this whole thing work.
