"What’s Your Preferred Self-Hosted Solution for Deep Monitoring (Beyond Simple Page Changes)?"

Hello! I'm evaluating tools to track changes in:

• Government/legal PDFs (new regulations, court rulings)
• News sites without reliable RSS
• Tender portals
• Property management messages (e.g. service notices)
• Bank terms and policy updates

Current options I've tried:• Huginn — Powerful but requires significant setup, no unified feed • Changedetection-io — good for HTML, limited for documents

Key needs:✓ Local processing (no cloud dependencies)✓ Multi-page PDF support✓ Customizable alert rules✓ Trying to reduce manual monitoring overhead — looking for robust, offline-first approaches

What's working well for others? Especially interested in:

1. Solutions combining OCR + text analysis
2. Experience with local LLMs for this (NLP, not just diff)
3. Creative workarounds you've built

(P.S. Testing a deep scraping + LLM pipeline — if results look promising, will share.)
