Scratch has been going down a lot lately,I am not sure how hard or how much money it would cost but mabey we could have page of some sort to show the servers current status.on this page we could see any problems that will be happening.

This would be extra work for the Scratch Team.

Nearly everything suggested here would be extra work for the st

That being said, if you can read a little JSON, you can check out this page: https://api.scratch.mit.edu/health

“uptime” says how long Scratch has been up for, in seconds (divide by 86400 to find days). “load” shows the amount of server load in the last 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes.

(ofc major caveat being that this page will be gone whenever the api is down)

most children, including me, can't read JSON.
anyways i would put the scratch server site on the scratch foundation page instead of a (…).scratch.mit.edu so if theres a critcal failure with the site we can still see the server status. otherwise support

No support, there are already lots of external websites to check this.
