Currently status updates and related downtime/issue reporting is rarely done through twitter but it's mostly done via discord announcements by community members. This isn't ideal and not everyone is following or even in the discord, this should be a site feature.
Having a status page similar to what other games, sites and services use to inform the users of what's going on would be appreciated by many people. Something similar to the Discord status pages would be fantastic for looking at regarding site and app issues or delays.

Heck, even Overwolf App has a status system but CF doesn't! https://overwolf.github.io/docs/status/all
Some stats to track could be the following:
Site health
Moderation Queue size
Sync delay/last sync time
API status
Anything else people can think of that's important.
This is something we're planning to add, I know it took a while to get to writing an update about it, but we're interested in having this idea implemented as well, so made sure to log it.

That's great feedback, thanks Clay! We're lucky and grateful to have community members that help us with announcing and spreading the word of updates and changes, planned or bug-fixes.
We have several ideas how to improve this and will certainly want to communicate consistently with authors and users on large scale.
