Yep, changedetection.io is a good project. With Site Spy, I wanted to make the browser-first workflow much easier: install the extension, connect it to the dashboard, click the exact part of the page you care about, and then follow changes as diffs, history, or RSS with very little setup. I can definitely see why the open-source / self-hosted route is appealing too.

Does your project use changedetection.io behind the scenes? When I look at the _All Watches Feed_ the contents of the rss file include;

Yes — it's a fork of changedetection.io. I went into more detail here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47349141. The RSS link you spotted was a leftover, already fixed
