Know before the lights go out.
A web portal for Australian businesses that can't afford a power cut. It puts every planned and unplanned outage from the country's distributors on one map, checks them against your sites, and lets you choose who gets warned.
What it does
Dec 2025- 01Live outage mapCurrent and upcoming outages from every major Australian distributor, clustered by region, with a drawer for each one.
- 02Three kinds of outageUnplanned in red, planned in orange, future planned in blue, so you can read the map at a glance.
- 03Your sitesAdd the places that matter one at a time or from a CSV. Each one is matched to the network it sits on and scored on how close it is to trouble.
- 04AlertsPick who hears about an outage near a site, by email or SMS.
- 05TeamsCompanies with roles, and invitations that expire if nobody accepts them.
- 06Built for the uteSeparate desktop and mobile versions of the inputs and dialogs, because half the users log in from a phone in the car.
Signature
A charge building
The sign-in page is black. Six rings of little sparks flash round the bolt one after another, glowing orange, while the bolt swells and settles. Then it goes quiet and does it again every seven seconds.
How it works
- One table, not thirteenEach distributor's outages land in their own table. Database triggers keep one planned and one unplanned table in sync, so the portal makes one query instead of thirteen.
- Which network is this?A PostGIS function takes a site's latitude and longitude and finds the distributor whose service area contains it.
- Tenancy in the databaseRow-level security ties every query to the user's company, so no customer can read another's sites.
- Fed from elsewhereThe scrapers that read each distributor's public feeds are a separate service. This repo is the customer end.

- Orange to yellow, #FF6A00 to #FFD500, on the bolt, the logo and the risk indicators. Everything else is warm grey.
- Inter in the portal. The landing page sets headlines in Instrument Serif over DM Sans.
- The portal is light. The landing and sign-in pages are near-black so the bolt glows.
- Map colours do one job each: red for unplanned, orange for planned, blue for what's coming.
