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

It's pretty awesome software. The main use case for me is tracking my home equity from different sites and also checking the status of my qBittorent. I have it integrated with Apprise and Gotify, which then sends alerts to my phone. 10/10 would recommend.

the 'export data' part is simple but works great, i'm doing something similar for graphing the number of houses that appear for sale in my area over time (some super interesting stuff over the last year!)
