I understand this is an initial launch, so not trying to nitpick, but these are what felt like would add immediate value:
- Adding a social login like Google would allow faster signups.
- Maybe I missed it - but I could not find any options for automatic monitoring which would update the status page. There are manual options for adding an incident.
- Post-signup, it takes me to a login page. Why ask to enter the company name instead of user/pass directly?
- If I could click on "Components" on my dashboard (/admin) and go directly to the Components page, that would be nice.
I like it that you took the time to write a privacy policy that is both readable and precise, especially as to the list of third-party services.
1. Social login is almost done - decided to ship without it to get feedback faster, but it'll be added soon.
2. Yes! Automated health checks are there - check out step 4 on the tour page (https://upty.dev/tour). They automatically update component status when thresholds are crossed. Auto-creating incidents from health checks isn't ready yet, but you can use the API to create incidents programmatically in the meantime.
3. Good catch on the post-signup flow - I'll fix that.
4. Noted on the dashboard navigation, makes sense.
Thanks for the kind words about the privacy policy! Let me know if you hit any other issues.
Working on my SaaS that monitors third-party status pages - https://incidenthub.cloud/ It's a one-person project I started last year.
My biggest technical challenge remains dealing with the immense number of different APIs (and not-APIs) in the different status pages out there. Marketing remains my biggest overall challenge as my background is engineering, but I've learnt quite a bit since I launched this.
