Some of you might just like the project for what it is :)
But in terms of maintainers/contributors: Do you like the idea? Have you worked with Hugo and its templating quirks, with Netlify, and other things of this kind? Please get in touch -- especially with Hacktoberfest it feels like it's harder to do my duty of maintaining everything without a little help.

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.

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

Hi, I'm the author of cState! I'll be reading some of the comments over the next day or so. Please do share any feedback or thoughts you have — here or on the issue board so I get the message right in my inbox — as that will help other people as well. :)

The Resolved Date in that case could have been omitted because it's not checked if the issue is still considered active.
I added all the required frontmatter you would need as an example of what could be changed.

Hi, I'm the author.
> 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.
