Thanks for honest the feedback!
Much appreciated :)


Old status page
---------------

First and foremost, the old status page isn’t going anywhere. 
It’s set up using a feature provided by updown.io as part of 
their SaaS offering for free of (additional) charge complementary 
to their monitoring service.


Regarding the visible details
-----------------------------

• There is a table view showing all monitored endpoints with a 
few details: <https://status.dlang.rocks/checks>
• I’m limited to what data I can gather using their API. 
Unfortunately, that outright lacks certain details (i.a. HTTP/2 
availability, IPv4/IPv6 availability). Others are only readable 
using a write-enabled API key. (I’ve opened a feature request 
regarding this, but they are wary adding another API key type; 
while I’m wary adding full access API key to an app that is only 
supposed to have read-only access.)
• From my perspective, a status page is primarily supposed to 
provide a quick overview about which services are down (and which 
are up). That’s why the dashboard (which serves as a front page) 
is designed the way it is.
• The “grid” view of the dashboard actually consists of two 
grids: One for services that are down, one for services that are 
up. (Thought I’d add this fact, as it’s only observable in 
situations where something is down.)
• I will experiment with a “list” view for the dashboard. Thank 
you for this idea.
