Most websites, blogs and portals have a comments section where it is possible
to give opinions about the subject, ask questions, leave compliments or criticisms,
and it is in the users' interest, sometimes, to continue following the update of
these comments. The SEETER system is intended to help these users by
monitoring in an automated way the comments sections of the sites that have
been registered in the system's database. To do this, a search was done to
identify regular expressions that correspond to the comments from different sites,
and Web Scraping was used to perform a constant count of the comments from
the registered links. From this, a system was developed with integrated Back-End
and Front-End, that is able to check and notify users each time the number of
comments changes. In this way, users can register several site links in SEETER
and let the system do the monitoring and notify them when new comments are
posted.
