Build your own status page instead of paying monthly
A founder was paying 29 dollars a month for a well known status page service used by thousands of companies. He cancelled it and built a simpler version with Cursor in a few minutes. The page only shows whether the service has a problem right now, a history of past incidents and a form to get updates by email. The team posts status and updates in their own panel, and the addresses go into their newsletter tool.

How to do it
- Paste the prompt into the tool, and replace the text in brackets with your own.
- Read the answer through. Do not send, delete or publish anything until you have seen it yourself.
- Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.
Try it with Cursor
Build a simple status page for [service]. At the top it should say whether everything works right now or whether we have a problem. Below that, list past incidents with how long they lasted and how serious they were. Add a form where customers can sign up for email updates, and a simple panel where we post status. Use our colours and logo. You are done when I have posted a test incident myself.
Replace text in brackets with your own.
