Leacme PagePinger is a cross-platform desktop application able to run on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. It is build using Microsoft .NET platform and Avalonia UI framework.
This application features the ability to repeatedly check if a website has updated it's contents from the last time it was parsed.
The desktop application can be compiled into an executable with .NET 3.1 by navigating to Leacme.App.PagePinger folder and running:
dotnet publish --configuration Release -p:CopyOutputSymbolsToPublishDirectory=false -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:LeacmeOutputType=winexe --runtime win-x64
Note: win-x64 can be replaced with other runtimes such as linux-x64, or osx-x64, for more runtimes see RID Catalog
Type in a valid website url ex. http://leac.me and click 'Add Site'. Multiple websites can be added and be parsed for content and will update again once the end of the refresh interval is reached. A notification popup window can also be setup in the Options, showing the old and new content changes.
The applicatin library can also be build and used separately by navigating to Leacme.Lib.PagePinger folder and running dotnet build. This will create a .dll library that can be copied into the directory where your .csproj is located. Be sure as well to add the following line to your .csproj file to point to the location of the library:
<ItemGroup><Reference Include="Leacme.Lib.PagePinger.dll"><HintPath>Leacme.Lib.PagePinger.dll</HintPath></Reference></ItemGroup>
It can then be added and used within your project with var library = new Leacme.Lib.PagePinger.Library();
