web.dev Article Monitor
Cron + crawler + Redis dedupe + Slack: get notified when Google's web.dev blog publishes a new article.
web.dev Article Monitor
Same proven pattern as other blog monitors — tuned for frontend developers tracking web.dev posts (Core Web Vitals, PWA, CSS, and more).
What this workflow does
- Cron triggers on your cadence
- Crawler reads the blog listing and grabs the latest headline
- Redis stores the last seen title
- Condition fires Slack only when the title changes
Use cases
- Frontend guild "what's new" alerts
- Teaching FlareSolverr + cache patterns
- Complementing RSS readers with team-visible Slack pings
Setup
Configure FlareSolverr and Slack credentials in Heym. Redis key is namespaced to avoid colliding with other templates.
FAQ
