Hi, I tried out your project and it looks great! I will be using it to monitor some websites that don't have RSS feeds.

One small feature I wish was there: the API requests seem to use XPath for selecting feed item links, titles, and descriptions. It would be nice to have "advanced options" that allow the user to write their own XPath query for the feed, just in case the automatic detection fails.

Thanks for the cool project!

Great, thanks for the feedback. I will add your feature request to the long list ;)
