GitHub Status App

Web apps acquire data in many ways - through user input, APIs, files, databases, and sometimes by "scraping" websites. The GitHub Status app introduces you to retrieving and displaying real-time status information from external services.

This project teaches you how to work with status APIs and create monitoring dashboards for services you depend on.

User Stories:

• User can see the current status for GitHub Git operations, API Requests, Operational Issues, PRs, Dashboard, Projects, Operational Notifications, Operational Gists, and Operational GitHub Pages as a list in the main app window
• User can retrieve the most recent status from the GitHub Status website by clicking a 'Get Status' button
• User can see when the status was last updated

Bonus Features:

• User can see any of the GitHub components that are not in 'Operational' status highlighted by a different color, background animation, or any other technique to make it stand out
• User can see historical incident data
• User can set up notifications for status changes
• User can see response time metrics
• User can view status for other services (Twitter, AWS, etc.)
• User can see uptime percentages
