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

One thing I’d love to see is the ability to download a pdf and send that as the change. More options past that like reading the pdf would be nice but not necessary.

I tried to use playwright to do it, but most of the sites I want to do it with open the pdf in a new tab and right now the playwright instructions can’t handle that.

it supports PDF natively, can you tell me the URL you are trying? it should PDF-to-text already
