# Website checks now arrive — and the feed says so when they have not

> "What changed" was showing ads and social movements only. This release makes website checks deliver, refreshes what competitors announce every week, and keeps follower noise out of the headline.

## What this solves

- **Website checks were never arriving.** For most companies with website monitoring switched on, the pages were being read but the results had nowhere to land — so price moves, new products and positioning changes never reached the feed, while the page kept saying "First check is on its way".
- **Follower changes looked like news.** A follower count that crept a few percent over three months was shown with the same weight as a price change.
- **Launches and announcements went stale.** What competitors published themselves was only refreshed once a month.
- **Filters could hide themselves.** Choosing "What they announced" and then narrowing the window could leave an empty feed with no visible filter to clear.

## What changed

- **Website changes reach you.** Every monitored company's pages are re-read on the chosen rhythm and meaningful changes land in "What changed", each with the page it came from.
- **Honest waiting states.** When a first reading has been asked for and has not come back, the feed and the dashboard say "Website checks have not started" instead of promising it is on its way.
- **Follower jumps only when they are real.** A jump is now a move between two readings at most a month apart, shown quietly at the end of the day's list — never a headline, never a green arrow for a competitor's gain.
- **Announcements refreshed weekly.** Launches, articles and announcements competitors put out themselves are checked every seven days.
- **Filters stay visible while applied**, the window reset clears them, and a competitor's history reads "page count not recorded" rather than "re-read 0 pages" when a count is missing.

## Where to find it

**Competitors** → **What changed** for the feed; the **Dashboard** headline; and each competitor's window → **Everything we have read**.

## Useful for

Founders and marketing leads who want to know what a competitor launched, repriced or repositioned — not only what they advertised.
