Open for discussion

To add to our full-stack we need a front-end. Question is, what should be a suitable interface for is bot?

aaronvanoung commented 3 years ago

I was thinking of something simple and user friendly. It could have a simple drop down to choose which store we want to search then a input section to search an item. we can also but a section where it prints out checking and then when found can say in stock. then we would stop the loop and return the handle for the site.

django and flask are pretty popular

Solobrosco commented 3 years ago

I also want to add - something that is niche and not everyone is using

aaronvanoung commented 3 years ago

Wait so by using flask is this bot accessible online ? I was thinking this bot would be something that just runs on your personal computer.

aaronvanoung commented 3 years ago

Actually i think I like that idea to use django and flask, would definitely expose me to more useful tools and we can have a place to actually present this project and show its functionality

Yeah if that's the direction we should go, users can monitor stuff online. Then again having a program on ur computer that monitors sites would be cleaner than connecting ppl to this service. But yeah I feel like having an interface would help a lot instead of looking at the terminal screen. I think python has some sort of GUI we can use, haven't tried it that's why I kinda suggested a frontend library
