BetterStatusPage
A self-hostable backup interface for managing Atlassian Statuspage when the official UI is down or authentication fails. Never get locked out of your status page again.
Never get locked out of your status page again. BetterStatusPage is a self-hostable backup interface that lets you manage your Atlassian Statuspage even when the official UI is down or their authentication isn't letting you in.
The Problem
AWS outages have shown us that Statuspage authentication can go down. This tool solves that by only using their Statuspage API, bypassing authentication failures and UI outages.
Beyond being a backup solution, BetterStatusPage implements features that users have been requesting from Atlassian Statuspage for a long time, making it a more powerful and user-friendly alternative.
Key Features
- Works when Statuspage UI is down - Direct API access bypasses authentication failures
- Test/Staging Mode - Practice incident workflows without affecting production
- AI-powered message improvement - Transform rough notes into professional status updates with multi-tier AI fallback (Chrome AI, AI Gateway, or local rules)
- Template management - Create and manage templates directly from the UI
- Preview before publishing - See exactly what changes before they go live
- Self-hosted - Run locally or deploy anywhere, full control over your data
- Secure - API keys stay server-side, never exposed to browsers
Use Cases
- During outages - When you can't access Statuspage UI, update statuses via API
- Test/Staging - Practice incident response workflows, test notification systems, and train team members without creating real incidents
- Team collaboration - Multiple team members can update statuspage simultaneously
- Message quality - AI ensures professional, consistent communication
