Weaknesses
  • •Crowded category — ChangeTower, OpenAPI diff tools, and custom scripts already exist
  • •Unclear how scraping works for JS-heavy pages — headless browser costs add up

Post Description

Hi HN,

I built this because I rely on many external APIs, and keeping up with changes is harder than it should be.

Many (most?) APIs don’t provide RSS feeds, sometimes they provide RSS that they block from fetching (yes, this happens!), or provide API updates on JavaScript-heavy pages, and so many other crazy things. So, I had to use other ways to track changelogs and documentation updates.

I originally built this just for myself to monitor APIs in one place and get alerts when something changes. It worked good enough, so I made it public.

If there’s an API you want added, let me know and I can include it.

Part of this was built using Codex.

Would appreciate any feedback.

Website Monitoring with Telegram Alerts

Telegram-first alerting is the product's personality — there are website/API/cron/SSL checks and an explicit "Start without email" flow that keeps signup friction low. The retro terminal UI is tasteful and suggests an MVP you can click through fast, but it doesn't yet offer a clear feature advantage over established uptime tools unless Telegram-only delivery is your hard requirement.
