Inspiration
The satisfaction I receive for using coupons for items I always buy is phenomenal. It's just like finding money on the ground and it is wonderful.
What it does
You enter first the products you buy without hesitation. You don't think about it. Next, you highlight the stores you frequent. The output is a list of products, accepting digital coupons, for you to purchase on a regular basis. You simply tweak your timing and location for the highest savings.
How we built it
- We first had to come up with the engine that would feed coupons to our app.
- Categories had to be made in order to properly gather lists of the products in said category.
- On a Personal User level, they have to compile a list of items they regularly purchase.
- Some of the stores they shop at regularly have or have not the data available that we can incorporate into our app. Dissecting this will be difficult. Some stores have weekly ads and their advertised specials are a tremendous source of needed data.
Challenges we ran into
Building the database with all of the needed products because not all products have coupons.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The dissection of the various classes of products in order to categorize them has been satisfying.
What we learned
That we have a lot of work to do.
What's next for Coupon Zombie
The automation of coupon uploading will prove to be monumental...
