Inspiration
Karen has way too many tabs open when she's browsing the Internet for shopping items.
What it does
This extension becomes a comprehensive shopping cart by injecting Javascript into shopping sites and then performing data mining operations to provide an overview for users to compare prices and quality.
How I built it
Tears, no sleep, caffeine.
Challenges I ran into
Debugging is always a fun aspect of a programmer's life.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Being able to have a somewhat decently facing product.
What I learned
That using third party APIs for product information can be a very painstaking experience if you are not careful with your XML, JSON, and PHP interactions.
What's next for Kartful
More sites? A more developed interface? There are plenty of opportunities to scale and we have only slugged through 36 hours of development for this product so far.
