Every Superflow comment ships with this context - no "what browser were you on?" follow-ups.
Why it matters
A QR code pointing at a dead site while prospects stand in front of you is the purest form of website pain - every scan a lost customer you can physically see. And the twist: it wasn't a config issue, it was an actual attack. "911" was, for once, proportionate.
can you please check the page. it is down and we need it up ASAP! We are at an event trying to sign people up with our QR code and the site is down. 911. Thanks!
we've notified our dev team about this yesterday, and as per checking, the website seems to be back online.
hey, the site is still down on our end.
