💡 SaaS Idea: StatusHub Aggregator — monitor all vendor status pages in one place
Web app that monitors thousands of vendor status pages, normalizes incidents, deduplicates providers using the same underlying platforms, and pushes alerts into Slack/Teams/PagerDuty. Offers historical uptime analytics for your own vendor portfolio plus self-hosted option.
