The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on a competitor's blog or website for new posts means remembering to check it yourself, over and over, and you'll still miss updates that happen while you're not looking.

Who it fits

A marketer, founder, or researcher who wants to track when a competitor's website changes.

How it works

  1. Checks the webpage on a set schedule
  2. Waits, then checks the same page again
  3. Compares the two versions to see if anything changed
  4. Sends you a Telegram message if the content is different
What you get

Competitor changes you hear about the moment they happen

You get a Telegram message the instant a competitor's webpage changes, so you're never caught off guard.

What you get

A Telegram notification whenever the tracked webpage changes.

What you need

A Telegram bot.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
