Updating services is not hooked up

I was looking into implementing a custom service and noticed the updateStatus method is not implemented. Unless I am otherwise mistaken this means the app doesn't actually do anything (at least at the moment).

See: https://github.com/instatushq/out/blob/main/src/services/service.ts#L12

Add Firebase

Add Google Cloud & DigitalOcean

Would it be possible to add Google Cloud & DigitalOcean?

Status updates don't work?

It's a weird issue, but status updates stopped working for me in the App store version.
I'm posting this because I have no idea what's the issue, so any help / hints would be appreciated! :D

Add Telegram

Can you add telegram?

Integrate with the main Instatus app for third-part components manually added

We don't want to setup an web server where we do the scraping stuff on different status pages (Vercel, GitHub, Netlify, etc.) and feed back to Instatus API. Probably add an way to integrate this with the main Instatus app?

Add Airtable

Seems this would fit here?

Is it trivial to implement and test? I can give it a shot over the weekend if you'd like.

Add Platform.sh

Status page is https://status.platform.sh/

Hide Dock Icon

I have recently started developing a Electron app myself and found that it is possible to hide the dock icon. Something along the lines of:

app.dock.hide()

Would be cool to not have it in the menu bar and the dock.

Adding my own Status Pages?

Hi, wondered if it will be possible to add ones own status pages which are setup with Instatus?

Right now when I search in the app it asks to add it on GitHub but don't think it would make sense to add these to the global config file.

Cheers 🌸.

Cachet-based status pages

I use Clever Cloud as a PaaS, and their status page runs on Cachet, which has a public JSON endpoint to monitor each component's status.

If you're interested, I can submit a PR to add support for Cachet-based services.

Bitwarden and Hund-based services

I use Bitwarden as my password manager. Their status page is powered by Hund, which unfortunately does not seem to have a simple JSON endpoint to ping for updates, but instead uses a live event stream of Server-Sent Events.

In order to obtain the status from Hund-based services, there could be a few approaches:

Approach A: following the SSE protocol

1. Open a long-running connection in the Service constructor
2. Listen to events with status updates
3. Cache the latest state from those events
4. Return the latest cached value in updateStatus

Pros:

• Minimises data transfer (status updates are sent every 5 minutes)
• Does not load the Hund servers with lots of connection requests

Cons:

• Long-connection may not play well with Out's inner workings (conjecture, I haven't dived deep in the architecture)
• Loss of network connection on the host may not reconnect easily (it does in curl, I haven't checked with Axios).

Approach B: polling

1. Open a connection in updateStatus
2. Wait for it to return the current status for the service
3. Kill the connection (as it will not terminate on its own)
4. Parse and return the current status

Pros:

• Follows the rest of the Service implementations more closely (poll every 5 seconds)

Cons:

• Feels hacky
• Incurs load on the Hund servers
• Unnecessary data transfer

Add a number of suggested status'

Here are a number of status' that I'd like to see added. However, I don't know what your requirements are for adding them to the app - a matching API, I guess. It would maybe be good to add some guidance around this, so we're only suggesting those that may be the most suitable.

Add Read the Docs?

Hi there, I was wondering whether this is on the plan. It rarely goes down, but when it did it felt like snow day… ;)

A last removed service is not applied

This is an example.

1. Remove AWS, Slack and Docker.
2. Restart Instatus Out.
3. Docker is not removed.

Add Azure Status to Monitor

There are a lot of other cloud providers listed, but I didn't see Microsoft's Azure cloud in the list. Since I use it, it'd be great to have it in the app.

Suggestion: make window vertically resizable

With my last two contributions I've maxed out the number of services I can display at a glance, and scrolling is so annoying 😅

It would be awesome if the window height could adapt to the maximum number of services. Unfortunately I have very little knowledge of Electron to propose a PR there, I don't even know if it's possible to programmatically resize the window.

What about Slack?

I search it many times but I don't find slack on the list! 😐
