Should a public status page be a minimum requirement for business-critical tools?

Screenshot from Everfit this morning.

Outages happen but what frustrates me more is not being able to see whats actually broken.

Is it logins? Client apps? Workout delivery? Messaging? Check-ins?

An email saying “we’re working on it” doesn’t really help you decide what to tell clients.

A status page should be a basic offering for any tool that your livelihood relies on.
