Meter – Web scraping that syncs only what changed

I spent a ton of time writing custom scrapers for different use cases, and I got tired of following the same pattern. Recently, I spent tons of time firing up custom scrapers and syncing data for a RAG app I built. I built Meter to solve both of these issues: it makes creating a fast, CSS selector based scraper easy and it makes tracking content changes simple for use cases where data needs to stay in sync. It's free for now - you can test it out by clicking "Get Started" and going to the dashboard and testing the scraping out. I'd love any feedback!
