I've always liked Heroku's status page. I got to work on a service for apps that provided this type of functionality, but quickly found out that someone here on HN had already tried to have a go at it (it's now down http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2110917 ). Is there any interest among app developers for a well designed, hosted status site for something like $5 a month?

For what it's worth we've (Heroku) thought about open-sourcing ours. Not sure how valuable this is to others — let us know.

I would love to see how you did the curved lines on the timeline.

Please do. Speaking as someone who has open-sourced similar tech, I'd love to use this at work.

awesome job pushing trust/status in a clean way! It looks like salesforce.com's smaller divisions is really getting a handle on status pages, i.e. http://desk.com/trust
