Web Watch

Keep an eye on any web page and get pinged when it visibly changes — a visual-diff monitor built into your server.

Web Watch keeps tabs on pages so you don't have to refresh them yourself. Point it at a URL — a product page, a status page, a game's patch notes, a job listing — and exceed checks it on a schedule, comparing how the page looks rather than just its raw source. When something visibly changes, it posts an alert showing what's different.

Because it's a visual diff, it ignores the noise most page monitors trip over — rotating ads, timestamps, view counters — and only tells you when the part that matters actually moves.

Commands

,watch add <url>                 start watching a page
,watch list                      show what you're watching
,watch remove <id>               stop watching a page

Examples

,watch add https://store.example.com/limited-drop
,watch add https://status.example.com

Setup

Alerts post to the channel where you set the watch up, so use a channel your team actually reads. exceed checks each page on a regular interval — near-instant alerts aren't the goal, steady reliable monitoring is. Some pages behind logins or heavy bot protection can't be reached; if a watch can't load its page, exceed flags it in your list.

Add watches, preview the latest diff, and tune how often each page is checked on the Web Watch dashboard page.
