Trello is down too. I wonder if there's a service they're both using that's the root of it.

Running my side project StatusGator, I have a good view of 200 different service status pages and there are about 20 services now showing down or warning notices.

A quick spot check seems most of those are related to GitHub, however. Often times when AWS or Heroku or similar hosting service posts downtime you can see 30% of the services I monitor go down at all once.

Long time StatusGator customer here. Great service.

I wish they used statuspage.io or at least offered email notifications for the status.

Neither of these are a simple "subscribe" button or even a fix, but some thoughts:

- They have an API you could quickly tap to write your own notifier: https://status.github.com/api

- They have a Twitter account that you could pair with IFTTT to send notifications: https://twitter.com/githubstatus

As a weekend project, I created a service to monitor the status of many services (Github included) in one single page http://isserviceup.com/ . You can register with your Github account and star the services you use to receive notifications through Slack when their status change. It's all free and open source, let me know your thoughts!
