When Github has problem they should show a banner or another sign in the main website about it.
I'm a paying customer who hugely depends on their service. I shouldn't investigate if GitHub has a problem.
I know that they have a status page, but it's not enough at all. When a problem occurs, the first thing that I do is to check if I did something wrong, Sometimes it more than few minutes. You can multiple this with dozens developers in my company (and most of them don't even know about this page).
GitHub should let users know about problems and downtimes

Re: GitHub should let users know about problems and downtimes
#2As you alluded to, there is a status page (https://www.githubstatus.com/) and there is probably a simple reason that they don't rely on their main site to show critical status.
Hosting the status of the current service using the current service is not traditionally a winning combination.
