I just signed up for an account. Looks good!

Some feedback:

- Great if there was more granularity for some services. Down/warning for all of AWS is not useful. Better if one could scope to region or even better region + service.

- The distinction between warn/down is not entirely clear. Also, it's not clear if it varies between services.

- Great with Slack integration!

- Instead of only selecting by drop-down or search, it would be great with a wall-like page with name + icon/logo, to make it easier to quickly find the service.

- Good with historic stats, makes it easier to choose between down/warn (to know how 'noisy'i it'll be).

Wow, thank you so much for the feedback. I'm often surprised how hard it is to extract honest, actionable feedback from people even with nice personal emails.

Some of these features are already in development!

You're welcome!

If you make a wall-like page for selecting services, I'd suggest this layout: https://www.dropbox.com/enterprise

Basically the logo in white against the primary-color of the brand. Very easy to scan and looks clean.
