New feature shipped: email performance reports

This was long overdue, as the idea is from two years ago. I had prioritized other features before this one, and now is a good time: 65 teams and 130 users are using HowFast to monitor their servers, and I've realized that some are not paying as much attention to their performance as they would like. There are various reasons: they missed an alert for a rarely used service, and it's been down for a couple weeks before they realize it, or somehow their notifications are not configured properly and they didn't receive the alerts, or they do not belong to the engineering team and prefer to get a high-level overview of their uptime and response time rather than alerts.

All those people will now benefit for free from this new feature, and will receive a weekly (or monthly) report in their email, containing key performance metrics and tailored insights.

UPDATE: The first reports were sent this morning, and I'm pretty happy about the impact of this feature, as many teams have removed old monitors, added newer ones, tweaked their notifications settings and are now getting more value out of HowFast!
