Thanks you @microsoft.com

We did not have to wait until the next aws outage for our users to showcase their beautiful status page with our new theme store

My 2016 @raspberrypi.com 3 still streams music via AirPlay to my receiver.

Now, it's also running openstatus private locations - a tiny docker image checking uptime from my own network.

This could be your new @openstatus.dev private location.

When we say monitor from everywhere, we really mean it 😂

About time to write it
francoisbest.com François Best @francoisbest.com · Sep 21
Uh oh, I'm writing about time again. 🕒

Client / server defaults alignment, hydration issues, distributed systems, this is going to be a fun one.

Thanks for the nerd snipe @mxkaske.dev 😅
# About time > Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so. > nuqs has a few built-in parsers that produce a Date object: - `parseAsTimestamp` → `?date=1758489336297` - `parseAsIsoDateTime` → `?date=2025-09-21T21:16:10.741Z` - `parseAsIsoDate` → `?date=2025-09-21Z` URLs should be **universal** *(as the U implies)*. Their semantic should not change based on where you are, nor *when* you are. This means the only logical way to express a time in the URL is **rooted in UTC**. This is the `Z` suffix in string representations. We could use other representations, as long as the TZ offset from UTC is explicit. Timestamps are somewhat easier to work with: they are always rooted in UTC, but there are two standards: - Unix counts the number of seconds since the Unix epoch `1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z` - JavaScript counts the number of milliseconds instead. Fortunately, we’re writing JavaScript. But integrating with non-JS backends may cause some issues, something to consider. ## The fleeting now

Screenshot of a status page with an active degraded report that is currently investigated. Also two status tracker bars with a history of the last 45 days can be seen.

still struggling with empty states
empty state of the status page without any monitors and events empty state of the public monitor where no latency is selected and the chart doesn't display any line

tab navigation with key data for @openstatus.dev

inspired by @planetscale.com
Active ‘Global Latency’ tab including an area chart with the p50, p75, p95 and p99 percentiles of the specific monitor. The legend shows p75 and p95 as active areas. Other tabs are 'Region Latency' sharing that 5 regions are active and ARN is the slowest. And 'Uptime' of 99.99% with a total of 5.1k checks.

status page exploration phase @openstatus.dev

help us shape the next gen of status pages - what are we missing?
Main page of the status page with single and grouped monitor trackers. A main banner with 'All Systems Operational' is displayed for quick visibility of the current status. Events page with a list sharing two dummy reports. Reports have different states like investigating, identified, monitoring or resolved. The ‘get updates’ popover is opened and includes a form to enter the email to subscribe to the status page. Events page with a list sharing two dummy maintenances. The date is includes a hover card with location/utc and relative time of the event. Monitors page with a list of three dummy monitor latency charts. They all have a legend with different active percentiles. Possible percentiles are p50, p75, p95 and p99.
