We're using a little bit of computer vision to visually compare websites over time. Just getting a little bit of media attention down here in Australia and globally via Twitter.

Our most interesting engineering problem at the moment is scale. We've home brewed a distribution engine to scale across multiple digitalocean regions without heavy weight messaging between them. There's no quorum to this 'cluster' if a check node dies then the remainder take on its load till another helper can come on board and help distribute the load once again.

We're working hard to build a solid product, please give it a try and let us know what you think!
