Fetch the desired webpage\n2. Parse the HTML to extract the content\n3. If the content has changed, notify!\n4. Wait and go to **1.**\n\n# Installation\n\nThe extension is currently under development, so it has no official release on\nthe Chrome store. To manually install it:\n\n1. Download the [zip of the extension](https://github.com/nobe4/foam/archive/master.zip)\n2. Extract it on your computer\n3. Go to `chrome://extensions/`\n4. Check that you are in `Developer mode`\n5. Click on `Load unpacked extension...`\n6. Enjoy!\n\n# Configuration\n\nYou can access the configuration page by clicking on the icon in the extension\nbar, or from the extension page (`Options`).\n\nThe configuration page has the following options:\n\n- `status`\n  - `running` or `stopped`\n- `Config`\n  - `Save`: Save in memory the current state of the option page, will override\n  any existing configuration.\n  - `New`: Add a configuration line.\n  - `Reload`: Load the saved configuration from memory and display it in the\n  page. Will override any unsaved configuration.\n- `Runtime`\n  - `Stop`: Stop the exectution, the status will become 'stopped'.\n  - `Start`: Start the exectution, the status will become 'running'.\n  - `Restart`: Stop and Start the exectution, the status will become 'running'.\n\nNote that the new configuration will not be applied when you click `Save`, you\nhave to manually restart.\n\n## Examples:\n\n| title | url | selector | timeout |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reddit new posts every 10 seconds| `https://www.reddit.com/r/all/new/`| `div.entry \u003e p.title \u003e a` | 10 |\n| Stackoverflow new question every minute| `https://www.reddit.com/r/all/new/`| `div.summary \u003e h3 \u003e a` | 10 |\n\n## Note on the selectors\n\nIf the content you want to track is the first one in a list, just choose a\nselector that will select every element in the list. When parsing the HTML,\nonly the first element matching the selector will be chosen.\n\n# Question, Bug, Improvement\n\nI would be glad to have any feedback on the extension. Whether positive or\nnegative. Considere openning [an issue](https://github.com/nobe4/foam/issues/new) or [a\npull request](https://github.com/nobe4/foam/compare).\n\n# License\n\n[MIT](https://github.com/nobe4/foam/blob/master/LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnobe4%2Ffoam","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnobe4%2Ffoam","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnobe4%2Ffoam/lists"}
