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.

For plain text files, such as changelogs and translation updates, I have a pull request that makes FreshRSS track diffs, without overhead of a full browser: https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/pull/8107

ChangeDetection does not necessarily need a browser and can be run without, but can do more with it (e.g. bypass some bot protections or even do some steps on the website, like filling a form, before checking for changes).

Yeah, more specifically it runs headless by default, browser requires an additional chromium container. Perfectly usable without in most (of my) use cases

Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.
