Gandi.net. Their system is good to use. First year free SSL, renewal is $16. Free basic email hosting.

It's only for HTML. But if you have a need for JavaScript files, just let me know, it's technically possible, I just don't understand the use case yet.

> Does it exclude or include comments... if I watch a blogpost with comments will every new comment cause an alert or only blogpost changes?

I don't have a good solution for this problem yet. Let the user specify a css selector or xpath?

> Does it understand twitter so if I watch a user, it only alerts me of tweets, not e.g. a change in the number of followers?

What do you think if I provide a numeric filter option to watches, which filters out numbers on the page before comparing if turned on.

> Does it diff binary data.. for example, if I ask it to watch an image url will it hash the image and notify me when it gets updated?

Can you elaborate in what case you might want to do this?

Thank you guys! I've been working on issues and just got the time to add a FAQs page on the site.

See https://sleepingspider.com/faqs for most answers.

It's an early product launch. I have no monetization plan. Too early to plan that.

In the current phase I want to figure out does people like it and how do people use it, how to make it better and serves more people.

;D

The product doesn't have a twitter as the name was occupied by others. :)

Personally I don't use twitter neither. Email me if you need to contact.

Problem fixed. All failed probes retried. Thanks!

The probe received a 403 forbidden error from google. I realized that google store forbid crawls. So a simple http request won't work.

I was not aware of this situation before. I will see what I can do.

Text content changes. For example the site corrected a typo or published a new post.

Change <h1> to <h2> will not trigger an alert.

It will try to detect your time zone with JavaScript. If that doesn't work, it falls back to Los Angeles and the user may contact the support to update this setting.

Strange. As an ruby programmer, I never had such a need.
