Overview
Discount Bandit allows users to paste product links from various stores to track prices and receive notifications when products reach a desired price, hit their lowest price in a specified period, or come back in stock. The project also includes browser plugins for Chrome and Firefox, enabling users to add products quickly and view price histories and current prices across different stores. As an open-source initiative, Discount Bandit is freely available for anyone to use and contribute to.
Approach
Price Tracking and Notifications
Users can track product prices and set up notifications for specific price thresholds or stock status changes. This feature helps users avoid the hassle of manually checking prices across multiple platforms.
Browser Plugins
The Chrome and Firefox plugins enhance user convenience by allowing quick product additions and providing access to price history charts and current prices across registered stores.
Open Source and Accessibility
By making the project open source, we encourage community involvement and provide free access to the tool, allowing users to customize and improve the software as needed.
