Show HN: The Status Page Status Page
- TimLeland 5y agoGreat idea! Sad that these type of things need to exist.
- pimterry 5y agoI built this a little while back just to quickly check the real statuses of some major services that have been silently going down a lot recently (and to mess around with Svelte & Cloudflare pages). Seems like today might just be the perfect day to share it with everybody else! :D
- davethedevguy 5y agoI like the idea of an aggregated status page. How are you getting the 'Reported Status', are you scraping their status pages? I tried to build something similar a while ago, but found that some companies (looking at you AWS) required a licence and authentication to get to their status APIs. Do you have plans to add more services?
- colinbartlett 5y agoYou might be interested in a project of mine then: StatusGator is a status aggregator.
- pimterry 5y agoExactly, it's just a very quick hack, and scraping and parsing is 'good enough'. Not pretty or long-term reliable, but it does the job. Very happy to take suggestions for other services - any ideas? What other critical dev infrastructure goes down a lot?
- davethedevguy 5y agoNothing against scraping at all, I think that's probably the only real way to do this until more companies have a (free) status API.. assuming scraping is within the ToS of course ;) I had a few others on my list; Azure, Office 365, Stack Overflow. You have the big ones already though I think.
- sparrish 5y agoI'll recommend adding text to the service icons on the left. I didn't recognize the bottom one and have no idea what service that was until I dipped into the HTML.
- pimterry 5y agoVery good point, done.
- high_pathetic 5y agoWould be great to link to the actual status pages to read the firsthand reports, if any issues.
- tomcam 5y agoHilarious name but also painfully necessary to those of us who have had to rely on official status pages. Thanks, /u/pmterry.
