How can I show user friendly UI, when whole vercel is down?

Hey, ! Welcome to the Vercel Community

Great question and a thread for discussion. do you have anything you'd like to share?

If Vercel itself is down, your app won’t be accessible since it’s hosted on Vercel’s infrastructure. There isn’t a direct workaround for that, but you can have a few fallback options in place.

One simple option is to set up a status page somewhere else (like GitHub Pages, Netlify, or another static host) so users can still check what’s going on. Tools like Statuspage.io or Better Uptime make this easy or you can just host a small static HTML page on a different CDN.
