Changelog

Another Tuesday, another Pie.host update!

Last week, we shipped two improvements to PieMail focused on making contact management and email cadences more powerful.

You can now make cadence decisions based on contact attributes, and programmatically update contacts through a new REST API endpoint.

Conditional Cadences

PieMail cadences can now use conditions based on contact attributes.

This gives you more control over what happens to a contact as they move through a cadence. For example, if a contact converts on your website while they're partway through a campaign, you can use their updated attributes to stop the cadence or route them through a different email flow.

This is particularly useful for lifecycle emails, onboarding sequences, and other automated campaigns where a contact's state can change after entering a cadence.

Update PieMail Contacts via API

We've also added a new API endpoint for updating PieMail contacts.

You can now update contact information programmatically as events happen in your application, keeping PieMail contact data in sync with your own systems.

The API documentation and details are available in the REST API section of your PieMail dashboard.

Small Improvements

Together, these updates give you more control over how PieMail contacts are managed and how automated email sequences respond to changes in contact data.

Give the new PieMail features a try and build more responsive email workflows.

Another Tuesday, another Pie.host update!

Last week, we continued improving PieMonitor, our per-minute uptime monitoring service for websites, databases, WebSockets, and other services.

This week's updates focus on giving you more visibility into your monitored infrastructure, not just whether something is up or down, but also whether the supporting pieces around it are approaching expiry.

What We Shipped

Public Status Pages for PieMonitor

PieMonitor now supports status pages for your monitors.

You can create a status page for a single monitor or group multiple monitors together. This gives you a simple way to share the current health of your services with your team, customers, or anyone who needs visibility into your infrastructure.

For example, if you're running an API, website, and WebSocket service, you can group those monitors into one status page and give users a single place to check whether everything is operational.

SSL & Domain Expiry Monitoring

PieMonitor can now keep an eye on two things that are easy to forget until they cause a problem: SSL certificates and domain registrations.

The monitor checks SSL certificate expiry and domain expiry so you can catch upcoming expirations before they turn into an outage.

This is particularly useful for websites and APIs where an expired certificate can suddenly make an otherwise healthy service inaccessible to users.

We Made a Horror Story 👻

We also made something a little different.

If you've ever wondered what happens when you don't monitor your infrastructure until it's too late, we created a short horror story for you.

It's fun, slightly painful, and unfortunately based on problems that can actually happen to production systems.

Check it out: PieMonitor Horror Story

Small Improvements

Alongside these updates, we continued making smaller improvements and fixes across Pie.host to keep the platform reliable and easier to use.

We're building PieMonitor around a simple idea: infrastructure problems are much easier to deal with when you know about them before your users do.

Try PieMonitor and see what you can catch before it becomes a production incident.

Another Tuesday, another Pie.host update!

Last week, we launched PieMonitor, a monitoring service for websites, WebSockets, Databases, TCP ports, and SMTP servers.

It checks your endpoints every minute and alerts you through Slack, Discord, or email when something goes down or becomes slow. You also get monitoring history and graphs, making it easier to understand uptime and spot recurring issues.

What We Shipped

PieMonitor

PieMonitor is now live for anyone who wants lightweight, straightforward monitoring without setting up a full monitoring stack.

You can monitor:

• Websites
• WebSocket endpoints
• TCP ports
• SMTP servers

Checks run every minute, with alerts sent when an endpoint becomes unavailable. Historical graphs also help you see how your services have performed over time.

Try PieMonitor at https://piehost.com/piemonitor.

Change Your Account Email

You can now change the email address associated with your Pie.host account directly.

This makes it easier to keep your account information up to date when your email address changes or you need to move an account to a different address.

Small Improvements

We also continued with the usual fixes and improvements across Pie.host to keep things reliable and easier to use.

Try PieMonitor and keep an eye on the services that matter to you.

 

Another Tuesday, another Pie.host update!

Every week we make small improvements that help developers get more done with fewer interruptions. This week's update expands our growing collection of free developer tools while continuing to improve the overall platform experience.

Alongside two new utilities, we've also rolled out several UI refinements and security improvements across Pie.host to make the platform cleaner, more reliable, and more secure.

What We Shipped

SQL Table Generator

Creating SQL schemas by hand can be repetitive, especially during early database design.

Our new SQL Table Generator helps you quickly generate CREATE TABLE statements through an intuitive interface, making it easier to prototype databases, learn SQL, or accelerate development without writing boilerplate manually.

Whether you're starting a new project or teaching SQL concepts, it saves valuable time.

Timezone Converter

Working across multiple time zones is a daily reality for distributed teams.

The new Timezone Converter lets you instantly convert dates and times between different regions, making it easier to coordinate deployments, meetings, maintenance windows, and customer support without worrying about manual calculations.

It's a simple utility that removes a surprisingly common source of confusion.

Small Improvements

Alongside the new tools, we've continued polishing the Pie.host experience:

• Improved UI consistency across several areas of the platform.
• Applied additional security fixes and hardening to improve overall reliability.

These updates may not be immediately visible, but they contribute to a smoother and safer experience for everyone using Pie.host.

We're already working on next week's improvements, see you next Tueday!

Another Tuesday, another Pie.host update!

Introducing social authentication across the platform, making it faster to create an account and sign in, and added two new utilities to our growing online tools catalog.

🔐 Social Login is Here

You can now use supported social providers (Google, Github and Apple) to create a new Pie.host account or sign in to an existing one. For new users on Pie.host, getting started is now as simple as a few clicks—no password required. 

Existing users can also use social login alongside their password, giving you the flexibility to choose whichever authentication method is most convenient. Just use the same email ID to log in, and your account will be automatically synced.

🛠️ New Base64 Encoder & Decoder

We've expanded our online tools catalog with two new utilities:

• Base64 Encoder
• Base64 Decoder

Base64 encoding shows up everywhere—from API integrations and authentication headers to configuration files and binary data. These tools let you quickly encode or decode data without leaving Pie.host or relying on third-party websites.

They're lightweight, fast, and available whenever you need a quick conversion.

Small Improvements

• Continued improvements across the platform.
• General usability refinements and maintenance updates.

We're already working on next week's release. Give the new features a try, and we'll see you next Tuesday.
