Many customers have been providing feedback to help us improve the design of our status pages.
Today we’re announcing a few design enhancements that have been rolled out so far.
Upcoming maintenance activities are now displayed directly on the main status page. This eliminates the need for a separate dedicated maintenance page.
Containers are the best way to show the status of a component in a specific location. However, containers are not suitable for every status page. Now you may choose to display the containers or not.
Here’s a nice example of a status page with the containers hidden:
We started with the simple old school squared edges in our flat design. Today we unveil the Rounded option. While this is a simple toggle setting, it drastically alters the look and feel of your status page.
New pages will have rounded edges by default. Current status pages can be switched to the rounded edges by toggling the option in the Design view.

We would like to introduce you to the newest memeber of the Status.io family: Statusbot
Statusbot is a friendly bot who hangs around your IRC channel and posts status updates.
IRC notifications are still in the experimental phase. If you try out this feature, we would appreciate any feedback.
Current limitations:
To set up IRC notifications, navigate on over to the Settings view in the Dashboard. Enter the channel name on the FreeNode network. The ‘#’ or ‘##’ must be included in the channel name.
After successful configuration, Statusbot will join your channel.
