status

Live; launched on Product Hunt in June 2026

signature

151 providers watched, region-aware alerts, a free tier that throttles rather than bills

the problem

Every provider has a status page; nobody watches 151 of them. An outage reaches you as your own error rate, or as a post on X, before the page admits it.

the approach

One Worker polls the official status pages of 151 infrastructure and AI providers, detects each transition exactly once, and tells you where you already are: a bot in Telegram, Slack or Discord, a push, an RSS feed, the public board, or a Mac menu-bar app.

what we learned

The hard part is not polling; it is not lying. Atomic transition detection, alerts that know which region you are in, and self-hosted brand icons so nothing phones home. Bot Fight Mode blocks your own heartbeat if it hits the custom domain.
