About Our Prototype

Exactum is built on the premise of sending Window popups, when websites of YOUR choosing update.

Can’t wait to listen to the latest release of your favourite podcast, but don’t want to keep refreshing forever? Exactum’s got you covered.

Want to be notified when a stock you’ve been eyeing for a while change price? Exactum’s got it in the bag.

Can’t be bothered checking when your teacher or professor posts a new online assignment? Trivial for Exactum.

Want to organize your alerts for specific websites? Exactum will send you the emails of website changes so you can organize them whatever way you like!

These are just some of the countless uses that Exactum has to offer, and as we roll out more features, you’re sure to find more creative uses. So, give it a try! The skies the limit when you use Exactum.


As we were limited to a 36-hour competition, there is still a plethora of new features that we would like to roll out to improve Exactum.

One of the ways we thought we could improve Exactum was to develop it as a Google Chrome Extension.

This would make it easier-to-access for all users, as well as provide no need to download any of the running files.

We also recognize that not everyone has the same preferences, so we would like to implement more ways to contact people with alerts other than the popups and emails.

Lastly, the final feature we hope to include in the future is a line-by-line difference of change, similar to how GitHub does it.

This would allow for a more comprehensive analysis of when a website is updated, and would overall provide a cleaner, smoother experience for our users.

Using the config.yml file to keep track of your website changes!
