What is Tinger?
I used it to check for torrent trackers, but you can use it for anything.
Tinger is a command-line tool that pings all links from a file, checks if they are alive, and logs the live links in a new file. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and UDP links.
This was a go at building a simple CLI tool in Dart. I really liked working on this project.
tip
This tool is perfect for maintaining lists of web services or API endpoints. It can quickly validate which URLs are still responding!
Why did I build it?
I had a list of trackers that were mostly dead, and I wanted to check which ones were still alive.
note
While originally built for checking torrent trackers, Tinger can be used for any URL validation task - from monitoring service health to cleaning up bookmark lists.
