Maybe this is only happening for me, I can view source for both, but at least do not work in my Firefox on Linux.

Renders as a black page in Chrome for me.

[Juliaobserver.com down? Current problems and status.](https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/juliaobserver.com) says it is up, but I guess thy just to an http(s) request

Thanks, I thought it was a temporary problem, and only realize now days later. [I wanted to report it, seeing now it was on two sites.]

Make “find your next julia package” tagline a bit ironic, but ok.

Both [JuliaObserver](http://juliaobserver.com/) and [JuliaPackages](http://juliapackages.com/) are back up. Apologies for the [inconvenience](https://github.com/djsegal/julia_observer/commit/1926ee73cf395a105bb872df09e4e1db94b422b7#comments). Just maybe try to love each other a little more?

Also want to clarify that I am in no way affiliated with Julia Computing. I just build useful user-friendly websites pro bono (apparently?)
