Does this site respect robots.txt? Does it render javascript content (so e.g. angular sites work)? Does it exclude or include comments... if I watch a blogpost with comments will every new comment cause an alert or only blogpost changes? Will I get a notification if the page briefly 500 errors when you hit it, or does it have to get a 200 before it reports a change? Will I get a notification if a page disappears enti…

Thank you guys! I've been working on issues and just got the time to add a FAQs page on the site.

See https://sleepingspider.com/faqs for most answers.

It's an early product launch. I have no monetization plan. Too early to plan that.

In the current phase I want to figure out does people like it and how do people use it, how to make it better and serves more people.

;D

I appreciate the answers.

I mean no offense, but I assume you're not a native English speaker based on that FAQ. I've taken the liberty of rewording them to sound more natural: http://pastebin.com/Kxti3KP0

Whether or not you take any of my suggestions or not, I at least recommend throwing it through a spellchecker.

Thank you. You are right. Your rewording is so much better and professional. All suggestions taken. Thank you very much.

> Does it understand twitter so if I watch a user, it only alerts me of tweets, not e.g. a change in the number of followers?

What do you think if I provide a numeric filter option to watches, which filters out numbers on the page before comparing if turned on.
