Are you still checking the price of your favorite MacBook or the stock price of Tesla? Have you ever imagined what if anybody takes that pain from you and shoots an email to you when the price is within your budget? Well, just leave that boring process up to me and you just check your email. I have accomplished the thing, introducing https://lootle.live.

Project introduction

Lootle -> (loot-le) is a website and MIT license open source project where you can keep track of the price of your MacBook or of your favorite Raspberry P or the stock price of Microsoft. You just enter the URL of the product/stock then the website keeps the history of the price fluctuation, presents it to you, and even notifies you when the price drops down that you specified.

Functions ⚒

Oh, we haven't discussed much on the functions of the website 😅. It checks the price of the product specified. Not only it checks the price, it extracts the name and information of the product from the website. It gathers information on a regular interval of ten minutes and stores inside of the database. If the current price is found to be less than the specified price by the user then, the user will be updated with an email. And the user can also check the history of the price fluctuation through the nice little dashboard.
