Hi all :) It's a been a while and I've been super busy, but here's another super nice release (thanks for the feedback!), support for xPath2.0/3.0 means you can use logic in your selectors (for example, give the count of the number of divs that contain certain text, and much more). UI improvements, Selectable browser (plug it into Bright Data's scraping browser!) and more, check it out! Much ❤ from the changedetection team. https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io / changedetection.io

Couldn't agree more with you. This is one of THE MOST important software to selfhost. Use it daily and would be impossible to keep track without it. It's just so well done without anything to "complain" about. All important features are there and it just works. :)
