Active project

Active

Catch quietly broken contact and lead forms before customers notice.

A monitoring tool that submits a real test through a form on a schedule and alerts you when the thank-you page or delivery quietly fails.

The paid loop is live with canaries, alert emails, and a Stripe Customer Portal. Product MRR is still $0, on a 14-day clock to a first outside paying customer.

01The problem

What makes this worth solving?

Contact and lead forms fail quietly. A broken thank-you page, a delivery integration that silently stops, or a misconfigured endpoint can go unnoticed for weeks while leads disappear into nothing.

Most site owners only discover the failure when they notice leads have dried up, by which point real business has already been lost.

02What I’m building

How the product is meant to work

FormPulse submits a real test through a monitored form on a schedule, the same way a real visitor would, and checks that the thank-you page and delivery both succeed.

When a canary submission fails, it sends an alert so the owner can fix the form before more leads are lost.

03Why this project

Why I’m spending time on it

This is the current tool in a separate Earn $60 lane: ship small tools and try to reach about $60 a month in real revenue from outside customers, on a kill clock rather than an open-ended roadmap.

It is also a live test of a Grok Bot based workflow, used to see what that setup can do under a real deadline.

Intended value

What should become better if this works?

The value is still a hypothesis until sustained use and payment confirm it.

01

For form owners

An alert when a contact or lead form quietly stops working, instead of finding out from a drop in leads.

02

For the business

Canary submissions on a schedule, so failures are caught close to when they happen.

03

For me

A concrete, dated test of whether this lane can produce real outside revenue before the clock runs out.
