BTW this seems to be a better status page than the one submitted to HN (which is 404ing)

The status page was down during the outage.

If so, then it's just like Amazon's status page during the AWS outage [1].

Pro-tip: self-hosting status page is maybe not the best idea.

Like the old Red Dwarf episode:

Lister: What's the damage Hol?

Holly: I don't know Dave. The damage report machine has been damaged.
