Earlier quoted context omitted.

We do, but it should be linked on the homepage and be more visible; https://cachet.herokuapp.com

That's helpful, but it would be more interesting as a demo if it had some other events on it.

I completely agree. Unfortunately we're having issues with APC (https://github.com/cachethq/Cachet/issues/163) on Heroku and as such can't login to add them.

I'm investigating this now.

Nice design. I'm not exactly clear about what's going on in the sample screenshot, though; when the block has two sections, are those supposed to be two messages joined together (since they occurred at the same time), or one message with additional detail?

Also, there are two grammatical errors that are a bit jarring: "We're located the upstream issue" and "Not know what happened" (possibly that's a joke?)

Thanks pimlottc, we're actively working on the design and trying to improve readability.

I believe you're talking about the incidents themselves? What you see in the screenshot isn't actually a good representation of what's happening. Instead, check out the live demo. http://cachet.herokuapp.com/

And in the mean time, I'll update the screenshots.

As StatusPage.io is a YC-backed startup, I wonder how this affects them... Do they feel threatened in any way? Though I guess they're really offering a service, not just a download

I wouldn't be threatened. One of the most poignant value propositions is about hosting.

Yeah, it seems like this is becoming more and more the business model of the present/future...
