Not Just You
Not Just You is an open-source, community-driven platform designed to provide real-time status updates for AI tools and APIs. It offers a publicly accessible dashboard that displays crowd-sourced reports and official signals for services such as Claude, OpenAI, Google, and Cursor. By collecting manual community reports and potentially automated checks, it helps users quickly determine whether an issue is isolated or widespread. The platform was created to fill the gap left by official status pages, which can be slow to reflect outages or may not exist at all for certain AI services. Not Just You aggregates user-submitted reports—indicating if a service is slow, erroring, or fully down—and combines them with any available official status data. This dual-source approach aims to provide a more reliable and immediate picture of service health. As an open-source project hosted on GitHub, Not Just You allows anyone to inspect the code, self-host the application, or contribute to its development. The hosted instance at notjustyou.dev is free to use and does not require registration. Its lightweight, focused interface makes it easy for developers and AI practitioners to check service statuses at a glance or report problems they experience.

Problem solved
AI service users often lack a centralized, trustworthy source to verify whether an issue is on their end or a widespread outage. Official status pages may be slow to update or inaccurate. Not Just You solves this by crowdsourcing problem reports, offering real-time visibility into the operational status of AI tools.
