I built IncidentPulse after the classic "Slack-on-fire, status-page-outdated" outage chaos. It's a clean, self-hosted tool to track incidents, responders, and updates.Live Demo: https://incident-pulse.vercel.app GitHub: https://github.com/bhoyee/IncidentPulseI'm at a crossroads and would love your blunt feedback on one question:What's the ONE feature that would make you actually switch from your current process (be it PagerDuty, a messy Slack channel, or nothing) to a tool like this?Other things I'd love thoughts on:Is the webhook setup (with HMAC, idempotency keys) straightforward?The UI is minimalistic—is it missing any critical info at a glance?Would you consider self-hosting this, or is a cloud version a must?
