(* if you have a Linux server, or a Raspberry Pi)
I am learning Python (feedback is welcome!) and made a script for myself: use RSS feed to generate email notifications.
This would work for any website that has an RSS feed, and for any number of websites.
How does it work:
1) you set up a cron job on a Linux machine that runs 24/7 to execute the script automatically (please, mind the load on the websites! I only query them twice per hour, do it often and you might get banned or get a nasty email from your ISP)
2) the script checks the latest post in every feed and saves it's timestamp on the first run
3) on the following runs, the script checks the timestamp of the latest post, and sends an email to you (example below) if the timestamp does not match
