Sometimes advice is not enough. You need a plugin, connection, dashboard or small web tool that fits your situation. Qndrs builds these solutions small, understandable and maintainable.
The common thread: measure what is happening, show what matters and automate what would otherwise remain manual work.
A workbench with a common thread
This page should not feel like a random project gallery. Every item starts with a practical problem and shows how a small technical solution can stay manageable.
- Monitor: Availability and Heartbeat Monitor
- Visualise: Traffic Display for Telraam
- Share safely: Zadkine.link
- Build to fit: custom plugins and small tools
See whether sites and systems remain reachable
Qndrs Availability and Heartbeat Monitor is a WordPress plugin for practical monitoring from the WordPress dashboard. It can check external URLs, show response times and uptime, and send alerts when something is not reachable.
For systems that cannot be reached from the outside, a heartbeat can be more useful. An internal machine, cron job, NAS, Home Assistant setup or application sends a periodic ping to WordPress.
Show traffic data in WordPress
Qndrs Traffic Display for Telraam retrieves traffic data from the Telraam API and displays it on a WordPress site. It is a small, concrete plugin: retrieve data, cache it and show it with a shortcode.
This detail page is not translated in the first English subset, but it can be added later once the public plugin is ready.
Share links safely and reliably in education
Zadkine.link is an education-oriented tool for making links shorter, easier to manage and more reliable. On qndrs.nl it is presented as a case about trust, reliability and security in digital education workflows.
This case is not translated in the first English subset, but it remains a strong candidate for a later English case page.
When a standard plugin does not quite fit
Sometimes an existing plugin is too large, too fragile, too generic or not quite suited to the workflow. A small custom plugin can be better: one clear function, integrated carefully and easier to maintain.
- small WordPress plugins
- shortcodes or blocks
- API connections
- import and export functions
- simple dashboards
- data visualisation
- support or administration flows
- LMS, SCORM, xAPI or LTI related connections
Do you have a small technical problem that keeps returning?
If an existing plugin, standard report or manual workflow is not good enough, a small tool or custom plugin may be enough. Describe what you are trying to solve, and we can look at whether custom work is sensible.
