Statuspage

YES

Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.

Atlassian’s hosted status page: components, incident updates, scheduled maintenance and subscriber notifications, wired into the rest of the Atlassian tools. It is what customers are pointed at when something breaks.

Promptfree, for everyone, and the only version there is

Build me a status page as static files, deliberately not on the infrastructure it reports on.

STACK
- Astro in static output, deployed to object storage or GitHub Pages
- No server, no client-side framework

CONTENT
- Components and incidents as Markdown with front matter
- A component has a name and a status: operational, degraded, partial outage, major outage
- An incident has a title, severity, affected components and updates in order with UTC timestamps

THE PAGE
- Overall status, each component, and the last 90 days as a per-day uptime bar built from recorded checks
- An incident history page and a permalink per incident

SUBSCRIBING WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT
- RSS and Atom feeds of incidents, so people can follow without giving you an address
- /api/status.json for programmatic checks

THE CHECKER
- A separate small script, run from a different host or a CI cron
- It probes the endpoints, appends results to a checks file and commits it, which triggers a rebuild

BUDGET
- Under 20KB, working with JavaScript disabled, legible in light and dark

Include a README on where the checker runs and why it must not be the machine being checked.

What you lose

Hosting that is independent of your own infrastructure — a self-hosted status page can go down with the thing it reports on
Email and SMS notification delivery to subscribers during an incident, at the exact moment your systems are struggling
Incident templates and a workflow your team already knows under pressure
Automatic component status driven by existing monitoring integrations
A domain your customers already trust and have bookmarked

Why this verdict

our own opinion · changed only by a person

90/100

Verdict yes at 90 — the highest in this set. A status page is static content plus a cron job, and hosting it as static files on a different provider is genuinely more resilient than a dynamic app. The only real reason to pay is subscriber notification at scale.
