I guess I'm used to nearly a megabyte of javascript coming over the network, but... Four embedded fonts? Just to get the character ⓘ and a checkmark, both of which are just regular unicode characters that these font files mis-encode? Does anyone even look at anything any more?

Most of the fonts loaded are variations of Open Sans, which are used throughout the pages. We'll look into improving the degradation when the icon font loads; it's just the Octicon font set. Thanks for pointing this out.

#17I want my monitoring service and status page to have 0% overlap with my infrastructure because we all know that cloud providers sometimes have global downtime. It would be awesome if you could let users decide which cloud platform their service was hosted on: Azure, GCP, AWS, DO, etc.
Besides that the product looks great! And there is definitely a need for a combined monitoring / status page service!
On a side note, can you talk a bit about how you've approached the design theming/customization feature?

The design customization allows uploading brand images, and gives full CSS customization as well as custom HTML. More about the customization can be found in our knowledge base here: https://hund.io/help/documentation/customization. We also plan on providing support for "page fixtures" to allow rearranging and changing how the information on the page is presented. You can see a little more on them in our roadmap here: https://trello.com/c/HeHVXFkQ/84-page-fixtures
