Where do you get your status pages from?
EDIT: I wrote some OSS to email you if a service (like a cronjob) does not check in[0]. Maybe I should add a status page component to it so you can see failed services at a glance, that seems like the right way to do status pages.

My word I’ve been looking for a self-hosted alternative to Dead Man’s Snitch for ages. Thank you for this!

You're welcome, that's exactly why I made it! Please open an issue if you have any feature requests or notice any bugs!

I use UptimeRobot too. Works fine for me and I get reliable notifications by e-mail when an IP address or domain is unavailable.
I don't mean to shit on your product, it's good! I think you need to be clearer about why I should pay quite so much more for it. At the moment it doesn't seem worth it by a long shot. If you plan to build the platform out into something more featureful, then say that, and give early adopters a discount (so that they're not paying more for services which are currently equivalent). Uptime Robot has been around for 8 years, and they're still giving out early-adopter discounts!
