Cool service. I've always used ChangeDetection, but wished they offered more-control (better scheduling, frequency of polling, etc.). Are these features you'd thinking about including?
Hey uptown,
Long term I'd really love to make this service as robust and feature-complete as possible, while also maintaining an approachable and welcoming user experience.
Being able to schedule when you are sent notifications, batch them together (eg. if you're watching to web pages, you get one email each day at a specified time), as well as increasing the frequency of polling (goal is 1/hour) is on the list.
I'm working on a feature I see as unique in that it will allow you to choose which part of the page counts as a change, thus minimizing false-positives.
Can you think of anything else that would be useful? Something frustrating you of ChangeDetection?
I think those are the big things. ChangeDetection doesn't tell you when it'll poll. I think it's driven by the setup-time, and their queue, but ideally I'd like the ability to setup a specific time to check a given page, with a recurring-check frequency, and a way to show the diff between the two in an intuitive way.
If-this-then-that integration might be cool - but that's probably an edge-case not useful to most of your potential clients.
Agreed. Frequency control would be really great, and an even more intuitive interface for distinguishing what changes, really quickly, is all on my list :)
