- For
- Midwest FurFest attendees seeking hotel-room openings
- Worth noticing
- The setup guide offers both a local Ubuntu deployment and a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow.
Field notes
The setup instructions offer two deployment paths: a local Ubuntu server or a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow. Users provide a Telegram bot token and chat ID; the program uses Playwright to read rendered hotel listings and stores a snapshot to compare between checks. The server instructions specify a five-minute interval, and the creator identifies this as a first major project. Its homepage counters currently show zero hotels tracked.
