HN is always the fastest to report downtime for vital development services, otherwise Twitter is relatively fast.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... is the query I use normally, replace `query=gitlab` with the service you're wondering about.

Maybe the best status page we could have would be a status page that just queries the HN Algolia API for "$SERVICE + DOWN" and checks if there is any hits in the last hour.
