YesNotice (infinitedigits.co)

Nice idea.

This is 5% off topic, but just to say that Zack (the person behind this service + Infinite Digits) is (also) a super prolific (and extremely kind) developer/maker/hacker with a ton of exquisite software+hardware musical projects:

- check out https://infinitedigits.co/docs/products/zeptocore/ if you're into sample-y, jungle/breakcore-y audio mangling/button mashing

- and his https://infinitedigits.co/docs/software/collidertracker/ terminal-based tracker

Signed, an honorary member of the Zack Fan Club :-) haha

Very much reminded of "Daemon" by Daniel Suarez, where the system is watching the news to find out when people were dead, etc.

Cool idea. Just a heads-up that the Demo link at the bottom of the page leads to a 403.

hug of death?

>How it works # YesNotice works by periodically checking the status of the item you care about

okay, but how does it work? how does it check the status of things?

>Notifications are sent via email or SMS, depending on your preference.

This would be a perfect use case for RSS.

Can't wait for the collab with https://www.istheinternetonfire.com/

The "yes/no" framing is a nice constraint that makes this actually useful vs generic "page changed" monitors. Do you rate-limit the checks to avoid hammering sources?

I'm glad someone finally did something here. I wish you every success.

Love this idea

It's IFTTT all over again!

Pretty cool. I suspect it's an AI implementation.

Reminds me of this classic: http://isabevigodadead.com

Ok, I'll only accept this use of AI if YesNotice can figure out how much their computer cycles cost to do whatever it's doing.

Good enhancement to existing services like Website Watcher, changedetection, etc.

Neat! Now I don't have to remember to Google for new vaccine updates every week!

This is really cool! I always believed one valuable use case for AI is to take unstructured data and structure it.

I am building ThetaEdge (https://thetaedge.ai) which is in Beta now. We built a similar feature but specific to investing and markets. You get notified when certain market things you care about happen like 'Alert me when nvidia releases a new product' or 'tell me when a 20 delta call for Apple is more than $1'.

The challenge of building something like this is consistency and accuracy which is important in finance.

Awesome to see a clean focused product like YesNotice with a very clear utility.

The sign up link leads to a 403, just fyi.

This is amazing, beat me to it, I had this in my TODO since last year.

I wanted to call it "Remind-me-when"

for example: "remind me when Weapons movie has less than 7 days to be released"

or "remind me when the site something.com goes down"

This post is not related to this, but as a fellow live coding fun, it makes me happy to find a new terminal based instrument like this found in the website ( https://infinitedigits.co/docs/software/collidertracker/ ). Especially there is another hot post about Strudel right now (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46052478 ).

Is it possible to track a given URL without that URL becoming public knowledge as a posted question for anyone to see?

I made a free product out of one of the use cases for YesNotice "Get notified when a new movie or TV show is released". It's here: https://www.premierepal.com/

I got a 403 Forbidden error when trying to register a user.

Nitpick: "Is the next Game of Thrones book out yet?"

This is always "No", because the latest book can never be the next book.
