https://changedetection.io - identified a niche where there was only closed source solutions that were _extremely_ expensive for what it is, and all other opensource products seemed very 'under-cooked' and talked more about the technology (language, web framework etc) they used rather than the problem they solved.

All other opensource solutions were also too hard to install and lacked features. Added many features that easily outpace the closed source competition

Made it easy to run/use/download/modify to get the numbers up then and sell subscription/hosted solution for those who dont have time. Also taking on many interesting custom solutions for people and companies that I've met through this project.

Nicely done. This is a commonly needed utility, obviously most relevantly in spaces where the purveyors of data aren't in the business of nor are they interested in making the data available or easily consumable. When I worked at a hedge fund doing research on various sectors, we had tons of data points we needed to monitor. Some of them were only available on government agency or company websites. Being able to detect when something changed, and quickly, was obviously really important for us. Anyways, good job commercializing this and doing it in a way that will feel palatable to customers.

I used it this Black Friday to monitor prices on some websites where I couldn't find a better solution. I was glad it supports multiple types of notifications (I used Discord notifications)

Thanks a lot for this project! I love it, and will be using it from now on.
