Description Adrian Wierzbowski 2009-03-20 21:21:31 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
Installed from:    Unspecified

I would like to have a simple notifier for simple HTML sites.
Many university related sites are maintained by professors with a small effort on keeping their students up-to-date (Offtopic they are lazy or are not interested in).

It could be a simple to take the difference after every fetch.

And you can select certain parts which you want to keep informed or not.
Could be also useful to eliminate dynamic content like the current time made by ISS or PHP.

In my opinion, such functionality does not fit naturally into the scope of Akregator, which is being an RSS/Atom feed reader.
Comment 2 Adrian Wierzbowski 2009-03-21 10:35:52 UTC
I only thought it would fit to akregator because akregator is a programme for people who wants to be up-to-date. While it is irrelevant how the site actually works, with or without RSS.

Yeah... sure. It is a RSS reader. But why can't it be more than RSS.
A RSS file is also a kind of tag-based file which is parsed and the programme tells you if there is a change.

In my opinion it is exactly what akregator should support.
