Public status pages shipped — branded, instant, included in the £5/month plan

Shipped public status pages in Observare today.

Each customer can create up to 5 branded status pages that show the live health of their selected monitors. Pick which monitors to display, add your logo and brand colour, choose dark or light theme, and it's live at a unique URL in seconds.

The page groups monitors by type — Uptime, SSL Certificates, Port Monitors, Cron Heartbeats — with 30-day uptime percentages and a 14-day incident timeline. Overall status (Operational / Degraded / Outage) is computed live from the individual monitors, not something you manually toggle.

What I'm most pleased with is the branding. Custom page title, logo, accent colour, dark/light theme, custom background colour. Optional password protection for teams that need a status page visible to customers but not the general public.

The public page is server-rendered HTML with inline CSS — no React, no JS framework, no external dependencies. Loads instantly. A status page is the one piece of infrastructure that has to work when everything else is broken, so the simpler it is the better.

This rounds out the bundle. Observare now covers uptime, SSL, port, cron heartbeat monitoring, Stripe webhook logging, email/SMS/webhook alerts, and public status pages — one login, one dashboard, £5/month.

The only remaining planned channels are Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp alerts.
