Show HN: Pingui Alert – dead simple Telegram alerts from your code

juanvidev1 Tuesday, February 10, 2026

Hi HN,

I built Pingui Alert because I kept overengineering alerting for small projects. I didn’t need dashboards, charts or complex configs — I just needed a Telegram message when something important broke.

Pingui Alert is: - One API call → Telegram alert - Open source & self-hostable - Queue-based (Redis) - No log storage, no PII

It’s meant for things like: payment failures, disk space alerts, failed backups, security events.

There’s a public bot with a small daily limit, or you can self-host it.

I’d really appreciate technical feedback — especially what feels unnecessary or what you’d simplify even more.
