Just came across this, and thought it was a pretty cool tool to self-host. You can use it to monitor price changes, or new events being added, or to check if that out of stock thing is back in stock.
I use this fairly often. Simple, effective, no complaints really.
The better alternative would be if all sites just had RSS feeds… but yeah, since we can’t have nice things, this is the way to keep tabs on site updates!
Yeah, I remember it used to be standard to have an RSS feed, these days it’s pretty rare, sadly.
I’ve been running this for years and it’s great. Does what it says and it’s really awesome to have a tool like that
Very nice project!
I could never get this to work right nearly every website would fail because of captchas
Yeah, that’s always a struggle with scraping, lots of sites don’t like it, even if you try and be respectful.
Takes a little bit of setup on some sites where you want to narrow the text to article headers or such but its a really versatile tool for tracking websites without RSS. What I wish it did a bit differently was how you subscribe to the actual feed and how it presents the changes, I would like to be able to customise that presentation more.
