Can you give me an example of sites you track? I can think of a couple but not many.

manual.bubble.io documentation, https://www.canyon.com bikes
https://www.eriksbikeshop.com https://www.onbuy.com/ i mean... just use your
magination job sites https://www.ninefeettall.com/careers/
https://www.network-n.com/careers/ https://www.merityre.co.uk/recruitment
https://www.thriftbooks.com amazon.com ebay , software updates, bestbuy restock alerts, etc etc etc etc
etc

everything from any online store on which you track sales/stock notifications to linux distros changelogs to 0nlyf@ns sales
One example I remember... getting an appointment for Global Entry.
If you're not American, you might not know what that is... but it's an expedited airport/immigration program in the US and getting an appointment often takes months.
You can use tools like this to monitor the appointments page for cancellations. I didn't use this specific tool but I used something similar when I signed up for GE and was able to get an appointment 2 weeks after I applied.
