I got several emails from some uptime monitors I setup due to failing checks on my website and funnily enough I cannot log into any of them.

BetterStack, InStatus and HetrixTools seemingly all use Cloudflare on their dashboards, which means I can't login but I keep getting "your website/API is down" emails.

Update: I also can't login to UptimeRobot and Pulsetic. Now, I am getting seriously concerned about the sheer degree of centralization we have for CDNs/login turnstiles on Cloudflare.

A similar app that I found recently (as they were nominated for an Apple Design Award) that does this is Sunlitt [0].

Very polished and generally well designed.

This looks _very_ similar to TFL Go [0], the equivalent app for London. That's probably a good thing, as I really like TFL Go due to its focus on showing transit information as opposed to Google/Apple Maps where that is just a layer on top of shops, restaurants, hotels, etc.

I have a Gmail account that was created by my parents several years ago. It had a somewhat unprofessional name so I ended up creating a new account before I went to university, which eventually became my main account.

However, Google won't let me log into the old account without veryfing access to my old phone number, which I no longer have since I moved to different country for uni.

The worst part is that I do know the correct password for my old account (it has been stored in my password manager for years) and I also have access to the recovery email set for that account.

This is an account with years of emails exchanged with my parents that I would love to archive, but I can't and I find that to be highly dissapointing.
