1. I will need to visit the page always to see any update?

Yes. Or get a browser extention or external site to monitor the link for you. Until I (or someone) hook this up to a PM-bot or Telegram bot, but for now I have enough on my plate

2. You are ordering ascending or descending?
    Latest one on the top will be nice.

Oldest posts first (like the forum). I've added it to my TODO, I think I'll make it an option.

If you need any more help with hosting fees, please just say. I'd be glad to make another donation (and I'm sure many others would too).

I still haven't found a reliable VPS, and my old netbook becomes more and more CPU-limited from the things I make it do I don't want to overspend on it, because I want to use it for many years, but I also don't want one that's not reliable. So basically I just need the time to sort it out.
I'd love to get a reliable VPS though, it makes my life so much easier. I'm currently uploading around 800,000 files per week.

I appreciate this is very much a work in progress

It is, and it's really a quick fix now to get something working again. I'll improve things when I have time the coming days.
For now, it's really time to hit the couch

Can you change the order to put the most recent at the top rather than at the bottom?

Since you're the second person asking: I've reversed the order. I'll make it a user-option later.

Can you add aliases like Maggiordomo did? Lots of people just call me oeleo, and I'd like to get notified of them too.

It's on my TODO list, but indeed, "aliases" is a better word than "keywords" so I've replaced the word.

Do you log IP address of the visitors on the pages?

I'm using shared (cPanel) hosting, and unfortunately, it creates "normal" webbrowser logs. I don't really care about it, and I don't intent to share it with anyone, but unfortunately I don't think I can disable it until I get a VPS.
Update: images still go through Bitcointalk image proxy (preventing "tracking pixels").

Question
What do you guys prefer?
1. Just a link to a post
2. The full post? That's what I'm currently showing (kinda like WallObserver.tk)
3. Just a small part of each post? Maggiordomo did that, but it often showed the wrong part and it'll can mess up the layout.

Retroactive!
I'm now showing notifications for all posts starting 6 hours before Maggiordomo went offline.
I'll wipe notifications older than 7 days, so that gives you a few days to subscribe to my new bot to catch up on anything you missed the past days.
My Notification-bot is now running every 5 minutes. It's highly experimental and far from finished, but should work Enjoy!

[DireWolfM14]

I made some changes to my first post, but I'm not sure if that's what's needed for an update.

I think a link and the name of the author would be enough.  The title of the thread would be nice as well.  I see you're planning to purge notifications older than 7 days, but if it gets a lot of subscribers it might use up more disk space and bandwidth than want.

The first few lines of the post are quite unnecessary.  You need to click the link to read the whole post anyway, so there's really no point in that.  

[LoyceMobile]

I made some changes to my first post, but I'm not sure if that's what's needed for an update.  

I scrape this topic for every update. By the time the topic gets too long to quickly scrape, I'll separate the Notification update from the user list update. My To-do keeps growing.

Removing your post would end your updates.

Another to-do: only upload a page if something changed.

[F2b]

Well, this is working quite well already

I'm just having one problem (but others generally shouldn't have it) : since I have a weird and very short pseudo, my notification page is full of posts not related to me, because they contain a crypto address or image address with "f2b" in it. TBH I don't really care but maybe you could add a fix to you To-Do list.

Also, I found the post 53343027 in my notification page, and I don't find any occurence of "f2b" in its code, that's weird.
Edit: found out. I think it is because when parsing, the "/" in the image URL became "%2F" or something like that, so "/2b" becae "%2F2b"
Edit 2: Even if I don't think that's a big problem for most users (who have normal names), it may cause your whole thing to be broken with pseudonyms with special characters. Edit 3: In fact, not. Or I don't know.

I can't help you more, sorry
But you're doing a great job.

You can have your bot monitor https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm and have users send a PM with subscription requests instead of posting here. When your bot reads a message, it can add a label and remove the inbox label, so it knows which messages it has read.

If you need any more help with hosting fees, please just say. I'd be glad to make another donation (and I'm sure many others would too).

There are a number of 'cloud' providers that offer 'always free' instances of a small/micro server upon credit card and phone number verification.

It would also be much more resource efficient to store your data in a database rather than a bunch of files. This will also make it easier to locate/query information when you are looking for something. The above referenced 'cloud' providers also often offer 'always free' database hosting.

Looking pretty good from here,and I actually like that it is hitting on 2nd generation + quotes, like a quote I was previously quoted in..

I don't think displaying parts of the messages are important, but just the thread title wold be good..

A "clear" button could also be nice, to "clear" my notifications page of all the read content and wipe it clean..

You're going to have to add "Notifications: " in front of it.

oops fixed

I think it won't work with "edit", I guess LoyceV is scaping both the notifciations and the application form form the recent posts, that means that no edits are recored. You will need to post a new message with the right format to get it recorded.
Damn, I was wrong.

You're wrong I read all updates to subscriptions in this thread.

At least the chance that you are AI has been slightly reduced.They are still sky high tho.

[LoyceV]

I think a link and the name of the author would be enough.  The title of the thread would be nice as well.  I see you're planning to purge notifications older than 7 days, but if it gets a lot of subscribers it might use up more disk space and bandwidth than want.

The first few lines of the post are quite unnecessary.  You need to click the link to read the whole post anyway, so there's really no point in that.

I'll make it optional: either just a link, or full posts. I've added it to my TODO list.
I don't worry about bandwidth, it's only text. But I should stop updating all files if there are no changes.

I'm just having one problem (but others generally shouldn't have it) : since I have a weird and very short pseudo, my notification page is full of posts not related to me, because they contain a crypto address or image address with "f2b" in it. TBH I don't really care but maybe you could add a fix to you To-Do list.

I think a workaround is on my TODO already: once I'm done, you can subscribe to quotes only, and not to mentions. Then you add "@F2b" as an alias. That means you can only be summoned by adding an @.

You can have your bot monitor https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm and have users send a PM with subscription requests instead of posting here. When your bot reads a message, it can add a label and remove the inbox label, so it knows which messages it has read.

I'll stick with a public thread for now, it's easier

There are a number of 'cloud' providers that offer 'always free' instances of a small/micro server upon credit card and phone number verification.

I don't want to expose my creditcard to anything crypto-related. There goes my privacy

It would also be much more resource efficient to store your data in a database rather than a bunch of files. This will also make it easier to locate/query information when you are looking for something.

True, but I have to do with the skills I have, and databases aren't part of that.

Looking pretty good from here,and I actually like that it is hitting on 2nd generation + quotes, like a quote I was previously quoted in..

That's actually because it's not finished yet: I now simply search the raw post for any occurrence of the username. Interpreting quotes is more work, but once that's done, it shouldn't show 2nd (or 8th!) generation quotes anymore.

I don't think displaying parts of the messages are important, but just the thread title wold be good..

I'll make it optional

A "clear" button could also be nice, to "clear" my notifications page of all the read content and wipe it clean..

That won't work, as the page is published publicly.

I think it won't work with "edit", I guess LoyceV is scaping both the notifciations and the application form form the recent posts, that means that no edits are recored. You will need to post a new message with the right format to get it recorded.

Without hesitation, I prefer the 3rd solution.
For some members (MS/DT), having the full post is sometimes a little "heavy" and not really necessary (I think of this kind of post)

[LoyceV]

That's the most difficult one
I'll think about it.
