+
+---

+
+**Body:**
+```
+Team,
+
+CRITICAL: scripter.app has been down for 27+ hours (since April 25 evening).
+
+Impact:
+- Product Hunt submission blocked (4 days overdue, was due April 23)
+- Cannot capture screenshots for PH page
+- Cannot demo to press contacts
+- Waitlist signup page inaccessible (8,742+ users affected)
+- Launch week (May 7) at risk
+
+Business Impact:
+- Conservative: 1-week delay = ~$2-5K lost MRR
+- Aggressive: Failed PH launch = ~$10-20K lost MRR
+
+Recommended Actions:
+1. CTO: Prioritize hosting fix IMMEDIATELY (ETA needed within 30 min)
+2. If not fixed by 11:00 AM: Submit PH with placeholder screenshots
+3. Consider launch date adjustment (May 8-9) if delay continues
+
+PH submission takes 15 min once site is live. All assets ready.

+2. Approximate account creation date
+3. Current karma score
