GitHub outage tracker

Build a status page specifically for GitHub outages. Help developers stay informed without relying on GitHub’s own status page.

Why now

Developers rely heavily on GitHub and need real-time updates when it goes down.

GitHub outages can disrupt workflows, but the official status page isn’t always reliable or quick to update. A third-party tracker could fill this gap.

The site would monitor GitHub’s services and provide real-time updates, historical data, and notifications.

developers or teams would pay for premium features like SMS alerts or API access.

The MVP could simply display current status and recent incidents.

The biggest risk is GitHub improving its own status page.
