A default config has been written to C:\Users...\AppData\Local\urlwatch\urlwatch\urlwatch.yaml. Use "urlwatch --edit-config" to customize it. You need to create C:\Users...\AppData\Local\urlwatch\urlwatch\urls.yaml in order to use urlwatch. Use "urlwatch --edit" to open the file with your editor.

Thus, the application setting (frequency of polling web pages, specifying the tracking area, frequency of notifications) is carried out exclusively through the configuration file. No thanks.
