Love the simplicity of spike! I've used other products like PagerDuty and OpsGenie and was overwhelmed by the complicated interface.
Interesting. One of the things about PD or the likes is the fact that no matter what I always get alerts.
That's one thing I definitely feel very strongly about.
Also for $7, how would it work

We have spent a lot of time making sure the fall back for alerts via multiple vendors come true.
I think $7 works fine with just alerting. A consistent pricing is important - makes it easily affordable to get started

So, I built one myself. Spike.sh is a minimalist alternative (https://spike.sh/features) focused more towards simplicity, ease of use and un-complicated pricing catered for non-enterprises.
I built all of the backend and frontend myself. I took some help from friends with regards to design and integrations. Also, took full use of Fiverr in terms of building integrations as a plug-n-play.
Previously, I worked with Wingify which was born here 10 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23466470). I have been seeking inspiration from them and couldn't wait to show what I have been working on full-time for the past year.
