This was planned for a while because initially with only the individual status pages there was no way to specify any text. But now that we have the multi-site status pages (e.g. https://demo.updown.io/) there is a free text "description" at the top, which supports links, newlines and emojis. This allows for this kind of use-case (roughly) as you can edit this field to indicate incidents, times, some emoji to catch attention on current status, link for more details, etc..

Now that we have this, I prefer to wait before implementing more specific status page features because we don't really want to become a full-fledged status page provider otherwise people will ask for MUCH more (notifications to clients, RSS, integrating other metrics, custom design, etc..) and we have enough work to spend our time on the core product (the monitoring) already ☺

Not gonna lie, this would be fantastic... I would pay additionally if this would be available. But of course - possibility to subscribe (notifications) and white-label would also be needed...

I notice that your own status page has this https://status.updown.io/history , i don't think it needs to be complex - though something like cronitors would be an amazing addition and worth paying more for.

Being able to annotate an incident specifically would be great. Especially in Japan, where they want to know root cause for every spot of downtime. 😅

allow to add comments/messages on status page, that way updown.io allows fully to act as a full status page, with incidents progress and so on.

~~I understand that devolopping a full system, with API etc, is a big task. What about just having a simple 1-line text field, "About this page" or "See more", where we can put

:facepalm: How can I be sooo stupid, this already exists... so we linked the customer status page to our global man-made Status page with explanations for outages and announcements for next planned service interruptions.

This would be really great! I'd love to be able to update users as to why a page is down.

That would be an awesome feature. Plus a small java script which would show a message on the main page leading to the status page.
