I made a simple Texas grid status page because the ERCOT dashboard stresses me out

Being stuck at home and checking ERCOT's "Grid and Market Conditions" page way too often got me thinking that most of the time I just want a quick sense of how the grid is doing.

So I put together a small, mobile-friendly page that shows demand, available capacity, and operating reserves using ERCOT’s public data.

Same data, just a quick snapshot of the key numbers (updates every 5–10 minutes).

If anyone’s interested, I can share the link in the comments.

Stay safe, y’all.
