Every shipped change, newest first. The page you trust gets better every week.

2026.05.31

Faster, and harder to fool

  • ImprovedIn-process role checks and deduplicated auth guards cut latency on every authenticated request.
  • ImprovedThe dashboard loads in fewer round trips: shared queries, a dedicated monitor-detail endpoint, and server-side down-sampling of rollups for wide date ranges.
  • FixedConsensus no longer re-evaluates steady-state monitors, so quiet monitors stay quiet and the notifier outbox publishes once per event.
  • FixedConsensus defaults now trip reliably at the 60-second probe cadence.
  • NewDedicated product pages for monitors, incidents, on-call, and status pages.
2026.05.30

Status pages on your own domain

  • NewHost a status page on your own custom domain, with automatic DNS verification and TLS issuance.
  • NewEvery status page gets its own slug subdomain, server-rendered so public visitors load it fast.
  • ImprovedThe notifier retries rate-limited alerts instead of dropping them silently.
  • FixedProbers stay within the CPU budget on the free Workers tier.
2026.05.29

Fewer false positives, richer dashboard

  • FixedDegraded probes count as warnings rather than down votes, so one slow region no longer opens a phantom incident.
  • NewA rebuilt dashboard with a coverage panel, health row, recent activity feed, and live domain-verification status.
  • NewThe public marketing site and landing page.
  • FixedConsistent timestamp handling across the consensus and notifier workers.
2026.05.28

The probe network goes global

  • NewProbers running across multiple regions on Hetzner, Vultr, and Cloudflare Workers.
  • ImprovedA single bundled workers supervisor keeps scheduling, consensus, and notifications cheap to operate.
  • FixedJob claiming and result submission hold up under load, with signed per-region prober tokens.
2026.05.26

Monitors, status pages, and alerts

  • NewMonitor detail pages with an overview, incident history, and recent per-region probes.
  • NewStatus pages you can build, brand, and publish incidents to.
  • NewHeartbeat monitors for cron jobs and scheduled tasks.

  • NewAlert channels for email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, and PagerDuty.
  • NewMulti-tenant workspaces with guided onboarding and instant org switching.
