Now visit http://127.0.0.1:5000 , You should now be able to access the UI.

Future plans

  • Greater configuration of check interval times, page request headers.
  • General options for timeout, default headers
  • On change detection, callout to another API (handy for notices/issue trackers)
  • Explore the differences that were detected
  • Add more options to explore versions of differences
  • Use a graphic/rendered page difference instead of text (see the experimental selenium-screenshot-diff branch)
