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

  1. Cron triggers on your cadence
  2. Crawler reads the blog listing and grabs the latest headline
  3. Redis stores the last seen title
  4. 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.
