On: Ask HN: Is GitHub down?

[Macuyiko]

Very good points. Meanwhile I have clients asking me why they can't have a status page to which I reply: you can, but ultimately to be completely fail proof it will be a human updating it slowly. To which they reply: but GitHub or X does it...

Very infuriating, that.

There's some nice tooling these days for this. E.g. https://firehydrant.com/ and https://incident.io both make this a faster, more embedded process.

And Jeli.io for this! With the Statuspage integration, you can set the status, impact, write a message for customers, and select impacted components all without leaving Slack. Statuspage gets updated with a click of a button.
