Huginn VS changedetection.io

Also check out https://nodered.org/ and https://github.com/huginn/huginn if you're interested in free and open-source software you can run yourself.

Myself, I'd probably prefer to use something like Huginn to create a customized approach to all of my online platforms I'm interested in, rather than a curated list.

I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.

The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.

That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.

Anyway I hope some of these are fun!

"correct" is a value judgement that depends on lots of different things. Only you can decide which tool is correct. Here are some ideas:

- https://www.windmill.dev/

Your idea about a queue (in redis, or postgres, or sqlite, etc) is also totally valid. These off-the-shelf tools I listed probably wouldn't give you a huge advantage IMO.

Huginn (https://github.com/huginn/huginn) has like some 39K stars on Github and the use cases it covered looks good.

Huginn is an another useful tool that allows you to wrangle CSS selectors and XPath nodes to create RSS feeds.

I use it quite successfully to get data out of undocumented APIs and out into RSS.

I know of Huginn that could be usefull depending on what you want to do.

changedetection.io just donated to the awesome crew over at ntfy.sh

I used a business to business website that lists every single company in this industry by location and has a link for each to generate a list of companys and URLS. I monitor this for changes with changedetection.io

0.45.8 is out! 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

The wiki is pretty easy to follow. The instructions here are the ones I followed. Simply uncommented the lines mentioned.

Hello, Is there a free alternative to this website changedetection.io ?

hey all - I noticed after showing our homepage ( changedetection.io ) to a lot of friends at the bar, they all click on the picture/screenshot at the top expecting a short video, but theres nothing there :) I remember there was some service that can build one for you? Or is it better to make it your self.. ? if so.. which tech do you use? (linux here)

Love from the changedetection.io crew ❤❤❤
