Why did you create Open Ping?

During a lot of time I used Mocha Ping Lite which was fine and free. I only used the ping a single IP, and I usually pinged a few IPs or domains... but main problem was accessing the history.

Most of the time I just wanted to ping some domain or IP that I already pinged in the past, I wanted to tap on the domain. So, one day I did some research on existing libraries, et voilá.
