Alert me when one value on the page changes, not when the page changes

In progress
We watch price and lead time on five supplier catalogues. The pages change all day for reasons that have nothing to do with us, so a page-level alert is a page-level alert we have learned to ignore.

Incapon · — In progress, on track for the 24th. Field picking works on all five now — you click the value on a rendered snapshot and we resolve it to something more durable than a CSS path, then re-verify it on every run and tell you when a field stops resolving instead of silently reporting "no change". Alerts carry old and new, and numeric fields take a threshold so a three-lira move does not wake anybody.

Tell me when a client site is down — and when someone quietly changed it

Shipped
We look after 40-odd sites we did not build. We find out they are broken when the client calls, and we find out they were edited when something we wrote three months ago is gone.

Incapon · — Completed, one week from the call. Availability checks every minute from two regions, so a single failed probe does not page anyone; content checks hourly with the noisy regions of a page excludable by selector, which is what fixed your cookie banner. Both land in the same alert, tagged as "down" or "changed", and both go out on Slack as well as email. One limit: a site behind a login is out of scope for now — we check what a visitor can see.
