🔗 FinderGit 0.25.1 — sometimes the right feature is a link

Last week's release added a panel that tells you whether a slow afternoon is FinderGit's fault or GitHub's. It shows four services and never puts a reassuring green tick on your screen.

So: what if you want the rest? Now there's a Details link straight to GitHub's own status page — every service, the 90-day uptime, the full timeline.

I did try building it in. Two things stopped me 👇

🔍 Those uptime bars aren't in the API. Every plausible endpoint 404s. They live only in the rendered page, as ~900 markup elements in 400 KB of HTML. Scraping that works until they restyle it — and then fails silently, which for a trust feature is the worst way to fail.

🚩 And I'd have shipped the bug I was fixing. That page's headline element is a big green "All Systems Operational". On the day that inspired last week's panel, GitHub declared no incident while everything crawled — so a faithful copy would have put that banner on screen, in my app, confidently wrong.

A link is clearly GitHub's page saying GitHub's things. You weigh it yourself. 🤝

Ever killed a feature because building it properly would have made your app less honest? 👀
