ArmA::Log - Yet another beta crawler/notifier

[Sniperwolf572]

Hi guys. Been working on this for the past week, and I think it's good enough for now to present it. What is it?

ArmA::Log

To keep it short, it's a web app built on PHP and CodeIgniter and an optional Chrome extension which will keep you updated on the new beta builds.
Originally the idea was just to have the Chrome extension and have a place on the web to crawl and store latest beta build number and it's time of release, but it kinda got out of hand and turned into a little web app aswell.

Planned features that are coming soon are an RSS feed so that you can, for example, get latest info in your Google Reader or something and a detailed view for each changelog stored. In case you're paranoid, the source code for the extension is available on GitHub.
Apologies in advance if the site gets a bit slow, it's hosted on a shared cloud on PHPFog (hence a bit lengthy URL), maybe I'll find a better place for it in the future.

Anyways, I'd love to hear what you think about it and if you've got any suggestions or more questions about it.

RSS feed (link in sidebar) and detailed view for a build now available (i.e. for build 87524).

thanks for the RSS feed!

The RSS feed is sweet indeed.
The chrome desktop notification even when my browsers are not running is very sweet too!

I will use both tools. Thanks!

You're welcome. Glad you're finding it useful.

Neat stuff!

Cron job for the crawler got deactivated for some reason in the last week so if you're getting a notification/updates just now about a build from a few days ago, that would be me fixing it. Apologies.

Links in the RSS feed have been fixed. Your RSS feed will probably get refreshed with 10 old build entries, you can just ignore them. Sorry!

Thank you.

Some updates were done today and now ArmA::Log looks better and is easier to read and use "on the go" on smaller screen devices such as phones and tablets.
Also for that one guy with a 800x600 CRT.

For a preview, here's how it looks on my phone:
