Just checked https://www.google.com/appsstatus all green, which does not reflect reality for me (e.g. Gmail is down) edit: shows how incredibly difficult introspection is

HN is my goto status page when these things happen, never failed to provide up-to-date reliable information.

Google should write an AI application that checks on HN if their systems are working and display the result live on their status page. That would be more reliable than the current system they have in place (which is obviously not working at all).

It is all green if you do not need to be logged in . If you are logged in, the page crashes with an error. You can still browse all services from Incognito (which for some is not an option).

Try YouTube, which is totally broken.

But I guess it's technically not part of /appsstatus

Out of curiosity, what response time do you expect on a page like that? And what level of detail? I'd much rather have their team focus on fixing this as fast as possible than trying to update that dashboard in the first 5 minutes.

It's a big group of teams... one team is responsible for monitoring (And status reporting) alone
