Any examples for this?

I haven't used these a lot in recent memory, but Pingdom, Uptime Robot, etc. Some company COULD totally make something specifically for this like in the mockup on the README

Are you saying that I could use Uptime Robot to automate CState or that I could just use Uptime Robot?
Because having a static status page like CState but auto updated would be amazing.

Unfortunately there is no auto updating, not yet. I've definitely heard this feedback loud and clear, will be looking into how I could possibly make this work with another 3rd party.

Thanks for the explanation!
Much appreciated :)
> Nothing in the README seems to tell me how this operates.
Not directly. I didn't even really think about writing about how it works so much as about how to get it work.
> I'm never told what the scope or method of operation is: what can this monitor? how is it monitored?
It is not something made for monitoring, it's for posting issues. You can add 3rd party automation if you wish (and yes the illustration is misleading and yes I'm thinking of how to fix it).
> what I can use this for [...] I still don't understand what this is doing: is it essentially a special theme for Hugo, or is there some frontend JavaScript magic going on?
There's little JavaScript since theoretically it should work on IE8 and is designed to be as 'foolproof' as I could think of (no external assets, all information on one lightweight page).
It's a special glorified theme for Hugo, if you want to put it that way, yes.
