PA Outage / Feature Request

Hi,

Python Anywhere was down for a short while last Friday, during which time the rather generic and unfriendly "Service Unavailable" message was shown when accessing any of the hosted sites. Would it be possible to implement a redirect to a more user friendly maintenance page for display during future outages? If hosted sites could customise it, that would be even better.

Cheers.

-Rob.

That's a really cool idea, @robc. I'll raise a ticket and upvote it for you. If anyone else would like customised down notices, drop a +1 into this thread.

+1. If you could have the friendly error page point to a status blog, that would be sweet.

I'd like a +1, but only after PG is live...☺
