The part that appealed to me the most: unlike other apps where you have to select from a list of integrations, you can literally craft a HTTP request like in Postman to get data from any API: https://getradar.co/docs/adding-data

#22Unfortunately the things that I keep checking don't have an API. So I've been looking for something like this that scrapes - and that can detect if it's a login page and log me in. I realize that it's unlikely that I'll ever find it but I don't have the time to make it myself atm.
Can you contact me (info in bio), I’m working on something that does what you just mentioned. It would be great to see your use cases so that I can integrate them.

#26How much are you thinking in terms of price? I'd be willing to pay between $10 and $20 USD.
I'd argue that seems grossly optimistic for most users. Considering that many useful tools are free and most people balk at paying $6.99 for an app.
How about a $0 starter tier for max. of x monitors, with a max freq. of every y hrs... then move up to a one-time fee that is more generous, but still constrained, and finally have a monthly fee that allows unlimited.

#27Trying to install the cryptocurrency extension, but it's not working for me. Opening the XDG link from Chrome doesn't affect Radar. Running Ubuntu 18.04.

#28Neat idea! If the author is checking the comments, videos don't work on Firefox Android (they do on Chrome Android).

#29It’s a nice utility but I feel it is another activity that will further sap our focus. As if social media hasn’t done enough damage by utilizing “easy” to get our attention.
Yeah. But, I felt this is better than opening multiple browser tabs and losing focus. So, I built this.
