notmyfault.fyi - sends you an email when a service you are interested in goes down, that's it.

There are multiple status aggregators out there but they felt cluttered, and I refuse to pay $20-$30 a month for notifications that I might get a couple of times. It's a tool I built for myself but thought others may find it useful. The operation cost is very low.

It's free, no account setup, no dashboard, no tracking pixels in email, and I don't sell your data.

If too many people subscribe I may have to charge to keep it running, but my intention is the price should be negligible, under $2/month always. If you don't see a service you're interested in listed, please let me know, and I'll add it.

bold statements when the Missing Github Status Page shows 87% availability.

Fair, with all the traffic they are dealing with due to agent code gen, perhaps it's not surprising. It's interesting to see the gap between the numbers on that website (https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/) and the official one.
