I built something similar at my last job to keep me sane. It was incredibly beneficial. I'm rebuilding a different version now and wondering what you're using for search?

Do you have any additional metadata fields like "tags" or "categories" that can also be searched?


Currently rely on statuspage.io and it’s critical for me. I’m struggling to parse if there’s any unique offerings compared to statuspage.io. Is there anything I’m missing?

I’m especially focused on the UI for the posting of a status page update. As our business offers multiple services and some can go down while others stay up. It can be cumbersome to deal with multiple data centers and services.

statuspage.io relies on third-party services for monitoring, while Hexadecimal provides monitoring in-house. That way you don't have to juggle between two services.

Status updates (both automatic and manual) is a feature I'll be shipping next. With manual updates, you'll be able to post them either via a Web UI or a Slack bot.


Do you have an android version? My company uses pager duty and it would be nice to filter out the spam. I hate leaving my ringer on.


Not yet, but planning to launch an Android version soon. If you want me to ping you when an Android version is out, just let me know an email.
