Why do they even have a status page if it shows nothing and was updated "a day ago"...

I mean, no system is perfect. Maybe their status page only queries their site every 5 minutes? Give them a break.

As of 7:20AM PST, it's on there. So it took them 4 whole minutes since this thread was created to get it on there. That's pretty good response.

It’s been on Hacker News for two minutes. Your reply is one minute ago. Perhaps you should check your SLA with GitHub, but presumably it doesn’t say that 60 second delays is the same as the status page being effectively useless.

Also, it was updated by the time you posted your reply...

Now the status page is updated, but the status on previous days are all saying "The status is still red at the beginning of the day"

Status page apparently isn't automatic because it is yet to be updated.

Is that better or worse than stripe who updates their status page saying something is wrong all of the time and then just changes it back without noting any problem in the history? I get alerts on them 4-5x/week and only maybe one of those winds up as a colored entry in the history.

...and sure enough, shortly after writing this it was 'down' for 10 minutes and came back up with the status page saying nothing about it.
