I spent a good bit of time trying to figure out why GAuthify had brief downtime and do a post-mortem. Luckily I'm read most CF blog posts here on HN and saw this. Is Cloudflare planning on having any real-time notification system for things like this? I'm sure it'll save a lot of headache trying to figure out what happened especially if you don't read the cloudflare blog.

Its very likely that I and especially the other non-hn folks could have missed this all together (checking cloudflare for an issue is likely my last check list item due to its amazing record).

Yes. We are actually in the process of redoing our status system and web site to communicate problems better.

However, we are also working to ensure that we don't need to use it.
