# Website Change Detection Monitor - Claude Context
## Project Overview
This is a **Website Change Detection Monitor SaaS** application. The core value proposition is helping users track changes on web pages they care about, with intelligent noise filtering to ensure only meaningful changes trigger alerts.
**Tagline**: "I watch pages so you don't have to"
---
## Key Differentiators
1. **Smart Noise Filtering**: Unlike competitors, we automatically filter out cookie banners, timestamps, rotating ads, and other irrelevant changes
2. **Keyword-Based Alerts**: Users can be notified when specific words/phrases appear or disappear (e.g., "sold out", "hiring", "$99")
3. **Simple but Powerful**: Easy enough for non-technical users, powerful enough for professionals
4. **SEO-Optimized Market**: Tons of long-tail keywords (e.g., "monitor job postings", "track competitor prices")
---
## Architecture Overview
### Tech Stack (Recommended)
**Frontend**:
- Next.js 14+ (App Router)
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui components
- React Query for state management
- Zod for validation
**Backend**:
- Node.js + Express OR Python + FastAPI
- PostgreSQL for relational data
- Redis + Bull/BullMQ for job queuing
- Puppeteer/Playwright for JS-heavy sites
**Infrastructure**:
- Vercel/Railway for frontend hosting
- Render/Railway/AWS for backend
- AWS S3 or Cloudflare R2 for snapshot storage
- Upstash Redis or managed Redis
**Third-Party Services**:
- Stripe for billing
- SendGrid/Postmark for emails
- Sentry for error tracking
- PostHog/Mixpanel for analytics

## Core Entities & Data Models
### User
```typescript
{
id: string
email: string
passwordHash: string
plan: 'free' | 'pro' | 'business' | 'enterprise'
stripeCustomerId: string
createdAt: Date
lastLoginAt: Date
}
```
### Monitor
```typescript
{
id: string
userId: string
url: string
name: string
frequency: number // minutes
status: 'active' | 'paused' | 'error'
// Advanced features
elementSelector?: string
ignoreRules?: {
type: 'css' | 'regex' | 'text'
value: string
}[]
keywordRules?: {
keyword: string
type: 'appears' | 'disappears' | 'count'
threshold?: number
}[]
// Metadata

title: string
summary?: string
// Delivery
channels: ('email' | 'slack' | 'webhook')[]
deliveredAt?: Date
readAt?: Date
createdAt: Date
}
```
---
## Key Algorithms & Logic
### Change Detection
```typescript
// Simple hash comparison for binary change detection
const changed = previousHash !== currentHash
// Text diff for detailed comparison
const diff = diffLines(previousText, currentText)
const changePercentage = (changedLines / totalLines) * 100
// Severity calculation
const severity =
changePercentage > 50 ? 'major' :
changePercentage > 10 ? 'medium' : 'minor'
```
### Noise Filtering
```typescript
// Remove common noise patterns
function filterNoise(html: string): string {
// Remove timestamps
html = html.replace(/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}/g, '')
// Remove cookie banners (common selectors)
const noisySelectors = [
'.cookie-banner',
'#cookie-notice',
'[class*="consent"]',
// ... more patterns
]
// Parse and remove elements
const $ = cheerio.load(html)
noisySelectors.forEach(sel => $(sel).remove())
return $.html()
}
```
### Keyword Detection
```typescript
function checkKeywords(
previousText: string,
currentText: string,
rules: KeywordRule[]
): KeywordMatch[] {
const matches = []
for (const rule of rules) {
const prevMatch = previousText.includes(rule.keyword)
const currMatch = currentText.includes(rule.keyword)
if (rule.type === 'appears' && !prevMatch && currMatch) {
matches.push({ rule, type: 'appeared' })
}
if (rule.type === 'disappears' && prevMatch && !currMatch) {
matches.push({ rule, type: 'disappeared' })
}
// Count logic...
}
return matches
}
```
---
## Development Guidelines
### When Working on This Project
1. **Prioritize MVP**: Focus on core features before adding complexity
2. **Performance matters**: Diffing and fetching should be fast (<2s)
3. **Noise reduction is key**: This is our competitive advantage
4. **User feedback loop**: Build in ways to learn from false positives
5. **Security first**: Never store credentials in plain text, sanitize all URLs
### Code Style
- Use TypeScript strict mode
- Write unit tests for core algorithms (differ, filter, keyword)
- Use async/await, avoid callbacks
- Prefer functional programming patterns
- Comment complex logic, especially regex patterns
### API Design Principles
- RESTful endpoints
- Use proper HTTP status codes
- Return consistent error format:
```json
{
"error": "monitor_not_found",
"message": "Monitor with id 123 not found",
"details": {}
}
```
- Paginate list endpoints (monitors, snapshots, alerts)
- Version API if breaking changes needed (/v1/monitors)
---

---
## Key User Flows to Support
When building features, always consider these primary use cases:
1. **Job seeker monitoring career pages** (most common)
- Needs: Fast frequency (5 min), keyword alerts, instant notifications
2. **Price tracking for e-commerce** (high value)
- Needs: Element selection, numeric comparison, reliable alerts
3. **Competitor monitoring** (B2B focus)
- Needs: Multiple monitors, digest mode, AI summaries
4. **Stock/availability tracking** (urgent)
- Needs: Fastest frequency (1 min), SMS alerts, auto-pause
5. **Policy/regulation monitoring** (professional)
- Needs: Long-term history, team sharing, AI summaries
---
## Integration Points
### Email Service (SendGrid/Postmark)
```typescript
async function sendChangeAlert(monitor: Monitor, snapshot: Snapshot) {
const diffUrl = `https://app.example.com/monitors/${monitor.id}/diff/${snapshot.id}`
await emailService.send({
to: monitor.user.email,
subject: `Change detected: ${monitor.name}`,
template: 'change-alert',
data: {
monitorName: monitor.name,
url: monitor.url,
timestamp: snapshot.createdAt,
diffUrl,
changePercentage: snapshot.changePercentage
}
})
}
```
### Stripe Billing
```typescript
async function handleSubscription(userId: string, plan: string) {
const user = await db.users.findById(userId)
// Create or update subscription
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: user.stripeCustomerId,
items: [{ price: PRICE_IDS[plan] }]
})
// Update user plan
await db.users.update(userId, {
plan,
subscriptionId: subscription.id
})
}
```
### Job Queue (Bull)
```typescript
// Schedule monitor checks
async function scheduleMonitor(monitor: Monitor) {
await monitorQueue.add(
'check-monitor',
{ monitorId: monitor.id },
{
repeat: {
every: monitor.frequency * 60 * 1000 // convert to ms
},
jobId: `monitor-${monitor.id}`
}
)
}
// Process checks
monitorQueue.process('check-monitor', async (job) => {
const { monitorId } = job.data
await checkMonitor(monitorId)
})
```
---
## Testing Strategy

## Deployment Checklist
Before deploying to production:
- [ ] Environment variables configured
- [ ] Database migrations run
- [ ] SSL certificates configured
- [ ] Email deliverability tested
- [ ] Payment processing tested (Stripe test mode → live mode)
- [ ] Error tracking configured (Sentry)
- [ ] Monitoring & alerts set up (uptime, error rate, queue health)
- [ ] Backup strategy implemented
- [ ] Rate limiting configured
- [ ] GDPR compliance (privacy policy, data export/deletion)
- [ ] Security headers configured
- [ ] API documentation updated
---
## Troubleshooting Common Issues
### "Monitor keeps triggering false alerts"
- Check if noise filtering is working
- Review ignore rules for the monitor
- Look at diff to identify changing element
- Add custom ignore rule for that element
### "Some pages aren't being monitored correctly"
- Check if page requires JavaScript rendering
- Try enabling headless browser mode
- Check if page requires authentication
- Look for CAPTCHA or bot detection
### "Alerts aren't being delivered"
- Check email service status
- Verify email isn't going to spam
- Check alert queue for errors
- Verify user's alert settings
### "System is slow/overloaded"
- Check Redis queue health
- Look for monitors with very high frequency
- Check database query performance
- Consider scaling workers horizontally
---
## Metrics to Track
### Technical Metrics
- Average check duration
- Diff calculation time
- Check success rate
- Alert delivery rate
- Queue processing lag
### Product Metrics
- Active monitors per user
- Alerts sent per day
- False positive rate (from user feedback)
- Feature adoption (keywords, elements, integrations)
### Business Metrics
- Free → Paid conversion rate
- Monthly churn rate
- Average revenue per user (ARPU)
- Customer acquisition cost (CAC)
- Lifetime value (LTV)

## Notes for Claude
When working on this project:
1. **Always reference these docs**: spec.md, task.md, actions.md, and this file
2. **MVP mindset**: Implement the simplest solution that works first
3. **User-centric**: Consider the user workflows in actions.md when building features
4. **Security-conscious**: Validate URLs, sanitize inputs, encrypt sensitive data
5. **Performance-aware**: Optimize for speed, especially diff calculation
6. **Ask clarifying questions**: If requirements are ambiguous, ask before implementing
7. **Test as you go**: Write tests for core functionality
8. **Document decisions**: Update these docs when making architectural decisions
### Common Questions & Answers
**Q: Should we support authenticated pages in MVP?**
A: No, save for V2. Focus on public pages first.
**Q: What diff library should we use?**
A: `diff` (npm) or `jsdiff` for JavaScript, `difflib` for Python.
**Q: How do we handle CAPTCHA?**
A: For MVP, just alert the user. For V2, consider residential proxies or browser fingerprinting.
**Q: Should we store full HTML or just text?**
A: Store both: full HTML for accuracy, extracted text for diffing performance.
**Q: What's the minimum viable frequency?**
A: 5 minutes for paid users, 1 hour for free tier.

# Website Change Detection Monitor - Technical Specification
## Product Overview
A SaaS platform that monitors web pages for changes and alerts users when meaningful updates occur. The core value proposition is "signal over noise" - detecting real changes while filtering out irrelevant updates.
## Core Value Propositions
- **Easy to understand**: "I watch pages so you don't have to"
- **Smart filtering**: Automatically ignores timestamps, cookie banners, and noise
- **Keyword intelligence**: Alert on specific content appearing/disappearing
- **SEO-friendly**: Captures long-tail keywords (e.g., "monitor job posting changes")
---
## Feature Specification by Phase
### MVP Features (Launch Fast)
#### 1. URL Monitoring
- **Track URLs**: Add any public web page by URL
- **Frequency options**: 5min / 30min / 6hr / 24hr intervals
- **Change detection methods**:
- Content hash comparison (fast, binary change detection)
- Text diff (character/line level differences)
- **Storage**: Last 5-10 snapshots per URL
#### 2. Alert System
- **Email notifications**: Send alert when change detected
- **Alert content**:
- Timestamp of change
- Link to diff view
- Change severity indicator
- **Basic throttling**: Max 1 alert per check interval
#### 3. Change Viewing
