Show HN: I built a tool that watches webpages and exposes changes as RSS

Fair point, and I should have been upfront about this earlier. The backend is a fork of changedetection.io. I've built on top of it — added the browser extension workflow, element picker, billing, auth, notifications, and other things — but the core detection engine comes from their project. That should have been clearly attributed from the start, and I'll add it to the docs and about page.

changedetection.io is a genuinely great project. What I'm trying to build on top of it is the browser-first UX layer and hosted product that makes it easier for non-technical users to get value from it without self-hosting and AI focus approach

P.S -> I've also added an acknowledgements page to the docs: https://docs.sitespy.app/docs/acknowledgements

Yes — the project is Apache 2.0 licensed (https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/tree/master?t...), which permits forking and commercial use. There's also a COMMERCIAL_LICENCE.md in the repo for hosting/resale cases, and I've reached out to the maintainer directly about it. Attribution is here: https://docs.sitespy.app/docs/acknowledgements
