About Boroughly
Traditional property websites always begin with the house itself, but Boroughly flips the script by starting entirely with you. Designed as an intuitive web app utilizing interactive maps, Boroughly helps you discover where to live in London and its surrounding commuter towns based on your actual, everyday life.
Instead of manually filtering endless listings, you simply set your budget, pin the critical locations you need to be close to—such as your workplace, your mum's house, or a school—and check off the amenities your daily life requires. Whether you need good schools, a halal butcher, a synagogue, an LGBTQ+ friendly environment, a Lidl, or a gym, Boroughly evaluates all 278 London areas and commuter towns against your specific criteria.
The platform displays these insights on a live map, scoring locations on pricing, safety, live TfL commute times, and how welcoming the area feels. You can even draw zones you love and cross out areas you want to avoid. Best of all, Boroughly is completely free to use with no sign-up required.

About Tell Me When Down
Tell Me When Down is an uptime monitoring and security scanning tool specifically designed for solo founders and developers building with AI agents. Rather than just checking if a URL responds, it monitors your application across three distinct operational depths to ensure both availability and safety.
The platform inspects your project through three layers:
- Public URL Scan: A free security scan evaluating your public domain for SSL issues, response headers, DNS configuration, and domain spoofing risks.
- GitHub Code Scan: A read-only GitHub App that analyzes your codebase to detect known vulnerabilities (CVEs) and leaked secrets.
- SDK Integration: Deep monitoring for critical backend components, including databases, Stripe webhooks, and background cron jobs.
With 60-second uptime checks and plain-English alerts, Tell Me When Down simplifies maintenance. Instead of requiring deep security expertise, every issue detected comes with a pre-formatted fix. Users can simply click "Copy for your AI tool" to feed the precise resolution directly into the AI coding agent used to build the application.
