Show HN: Unstatus: Free hosting for dynamic, server-side (PHP) status pages
- Cyclenerd 10y agoI can't see any code in the repository. An example would be helpful.
- minxomat 10y agoExample for what? The repository holds the source code for hosted status pages. It's empty because no one submitted any pages yet. There's nothing you have to install, build or use. unstatus.site simple hosts whatever this repository contains. Basically it's a (peer)-reviewed PHP hosting. You make a PR to include your page and that's it :-)
- Cyclenerd 10y agoAlready understood. Nevertheless an example would be helpful. E.g. with https://unstatus.site/foobar https://unstatus.site/foobar
- minxomat 10y agoIt is quite ironic that GitHub has a "Major service outage." exactly the day unstatus goes public :)
- bbcbasic 10y agoSeems odd to me. Why would I use this as opposed to a normal PHP host, or some kind of Status SaaS that already exists? And if I want to save money I could create a github page which polls my service via AJAX.
- minxomat 10y agoWell, a "normal" PHP host usually has at least some cost attached. This doesn't. > And if I want to save money I could create a github page which polls my service via AJAX. I covered that in the first paragraph of the README.
- bbcbasic 10y ago> I covered that in the first paragraph of the README Not really. Because you can host a static page on a different infrastructure to your main service.
- minxomat 10y agoYes, really. I specifically talked about GitHub pages: > Static pages can be hosted for free with GitHub pages, but these can only contain client-side code. And your other point: > you can host a static page on a different infrastructure to your main service Well, yes. That the point. That's also why the title here says dynamic and server-side.
