Self-hosted status pages struggle to email subscribers about updates
Operators of self-hosted status pages want visitors to subscribe to incident and maintenance updates, including updates for selected services, but the requests here describe missing email-subscription features. That makes a move to Uptime Kuma harder for at least one operator and leaves page owners looking for a way to deliver updates reliably. A similar, adjacent request from a Blogger user shows the broader need to notify invited readers about later posts.
For self-hosted status page operators. Mentioned from Nov 2021 to Jun 2024 on GitHub and Stack Exchange.

This is the main thing preventing me from fully implementing Uptime-Kuma and switching from UptimeRobot
On the status page, I don't see any email Subscription while if I post any incident and update that alone should have go to the email who have subscribed
