I got several emails from some uptime monitors I setup due to failing checks on my website and funnily enough I cannot log into any of them.

BetterStack, InStatus and HetrixTools seemingly all use Cloudflare on their dashboards, which means I can't login but I keep getting "your website/API is down" emails.

Update: I also can't login to UptimeRobot and Pulsetic. Now, I am getting seriously concerned about the sheer degree of centralization we have for CDNs/login turnstiles on Cloudflare.



A similar app that I found recently (as they were nominated for an Apple Design Award) that does this is Sunlitt [0].

Very polished and generally well designed.

This looks _very_ similar to TFL Go [0], the equivalent app for London. That's probably a good thing, as I really like TFL Go due to its focus on showing transit information as opposed to Google/Apple Maps where that is just a layer on top of shops, restaurants, hotels, etc.

In particular, TfL Go also has a focus on upcoming nearby departures rather than directions which Google Maps and Apple Maps prioritise. For anyone with some public transport familiarity, it’s quite nice being about to see your approximate position on a schematic tube/rail map or easily view nearby bus stops.

However, a friend who was briefly visiting London found this quite confusing as it wasn’t focused on navigation. Separately, I find the UI far too information-sparse for my taste compared to some other official apps (Zurich, Prague, etc.) which makes it somewhat inefficient to use, but perhaps this works for some.


And even more similar to TfNSW’s Opal Travel [0], the equivalent app for Sydney. Again, not a bad thing, just very striking resemblance.

I'm a huge fan of TFL Go, we should probably add a thank you and inspiration page to the More tab


I have a Gmail account that was created by my parents several years ago. It had a somewhat unprofessional name so I ended up creating a new account before I went to university, which eventually became my main account.

However, Google won't let me log into the old account without veryfing access to my old phone number, which I no longer have since I moved to different country for uni.

The worst part is that I do know the correct password for my old account (it has been stored in my password manager for years) and I also have access to the recovery email set for that account.

This is an account with years of emails exchanged with my parents that I would love to archive, but I can't and I find that to be highly dissapointing.
