Blog - New diff feature in portal
New diff feature in portal
I've added a new feature to my portal.
The portal is based on a module I call "monitor", which watches for updates of sites linked from it. There's a RSS feed available indicating the latest updated pages. RSS
Now since I'm probably about the only one using that RSS feed, I'm sure everyone is lost already. Anyway...
So, from now on, the RSS feed also provides a "Diff" link which displays a merged view of the new and previous versions' source, highlighting changes, therefore making it easy to see what has changed since last time (at least to those who can make something out of HTML).

if it's any consolation, I use RSS, and I find your portal to be very useful ... in fact that is how I got a lot of my RSS feeds to begin with!

Thanks. I don't question the portal's usefulness, it's meant just for myself and it saves me a lot of time, but I'm glad if it's helpful to others too!
Also I meant that RSS feed (of the portal) in particular. :)

I got it now. Wow - that is quite impressive what you've done there, Patrick!
Now I have one more feed to read every day!
I am very impressed at how you always are able to add something interesting to your site to make it even more manageable and convenient!

Glad you think so! :) I like to keep my programming skills up by doing this type of fun stuff.
