I built it mostly because my biz partner and I wanted to know when a file changed in a shared folder. We use markdown a lot for meeting minutes, discussions, etc...and sometimes i missed (or just didn't pay attention) to growl on my mac.

This way I had a persisted copy so it reminded to check out the changes.

Dropbox only has a RSS feed for activity that I just wouldn't pay attention to either.

Any feedback is much appreciated. Just a small side project.
