GitHub should let users know about problems and downtimes
When Github has problem they should show a banner or another sign in the main website about it.
I'm a paying customer who hugely depends on their service. I shouldn't investigate if GitHub has a problem.
I know that they have a status page, but it's not enough at all. When a problem occurs, the first thing that I do is to check if I did something wrong, Sometimes it more than few minutes. You can multiple this with dozens developers in my company (and most of them don't even know about this page).
- uberman 6y agoAs you alluded to, there is a status page (https://www.githubstatus.com/ https://www.githubstatus.com/) and there is probably a simple reason that they don't rely on their main site to show critical status. Hosting the status of the current service using the current service is not traditionally a winning combination.
