Changelog

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.

Another Tuesday, another Pie.host update:

This week’s release focused on making Pie.host faster to navigate and a little easier to work with every day.

Search is now much more useful across the platform, keyboard shortcuts make it instantly accessible; PieAssist handles support conversations more intelligently, and we've expanded our growing collection of developer tools with a new JSON Formatter.

🔎 Search Now Finds Your Resources, API Keys & Tools

Search is no longer limited to documentation and tutorials.

It now searches across your Pie.host resources and developer tools, making it much easier to jump directly to the services you're using instead of browsing through the dashboard.

Whether you're looking for a deployment, database, Redis instance, or one of our built-in tools, search now brings everything together in a single place.

⌨️ Open Search Instantly

Finding what you need is now even quicker.

Press Cmd + B (macOS) or Ctrl + B (Windows/Linux) from anywhere inside Pie.host to instantly open search. No mouse required.

For developers who spend most of their day on the keyboard, this makes navigating the platform significantly faster.

🤖 PieAssist Smarter Ticket Handling

We fixed an issue where PieAssist could accidentally create duplicate support tickets.

Now, if you already have an active support conversation, PieAssist will automatically direct you back to that ticket instead of opening a new one. You can simply continue the conversation by replying with your latest question.

This keeps support requests organised while making it easier to track ongoing issues.

🛠️ New JSON Formatter Tool

Our collection of free developer tools continues to grow.

This week we added a JSON Formatter, making it easy to format, validate, and prettify JSON directly from your browser.

Alongside the new addition, we've also made several improvements across our existing developer tools for a smoother experience.

Try it here: https://piehost.com/tools/json-formatter

Small Improvements

• Improved overall search experience across the platform.
• Enhanced several existing developer tools with usability improvements.
• Fixed duplicate support ticket creation in PieAssist.

We'll keep shipping improvements every week, see you in the next Pie.host update.

🚀 Another Tuesday, another Pie.host update!

This week, we made freelancer payouts smoother, improved escrow reliability, and raised our engineering standards even higher. Here's what's new 👇

💸 Withdrawal History Export

Freelancers can now export their complete withdrawal history as a CSV from the Get Paid page.

The export includes:
📅 Withdrawal date
💰 Amount
✅ Current status

Perfect for accounting, tax preparation, or importing into your bookkeeping software.

💳 Get Paid Dashboard

The new Get Paid dashboard is now fully complete!

PieLancers can now:

Everything stays synced automatically with live platform data.

🔄 Monthly Billing Support

Recurring monthly projects are now fully supported.

✅ Clients are billed upfront each month
🔒 Funds are held securely in escrow
💵 Payments are automatically released to freelancers based on the billing schedule

Managing long-term projects just became much easier.

🛠️ Engineering Improvements

✅ Zero-Warning CI Across the Repository

We've officially reached a 0-error / 0-warning baseline across our entire codebase.

Every commit and pull request is automatically checked with:

🎨 PHP Pint (PHP formatting)
🧹 ESLint & Prettier (JavaScript quality)

Code that doesn't meet our standards can't be merged, helping us ship faster while keeping the platform reliable.

✨ Small improvements like these might not always be visible, but they make Pie.host stronger with every release.

See you next Tuesday! 👋
