Personal monitoring

A separate RSS watcher with product-interest rules and condition labels, plus a localhost dashboard.

Engineering choices

Confirmed AUD prices and available variants, bounded concurrent scans, visible timestamps, protection against total scan failure, notification deduplication and asset versioning. Regression tests run before deployment.

Scope and limitations

This is an independent development project, not a retailer or checkout service. The main index scans a limited set of configured feeds; tech directories provide outbound retailer links rather than live prices. Community RSS items are not republished here. Retailer names identify destinations and do not imply endorsement.

The project supports owner-configured affiliate links with visible labels. Account approval, commissions and complete market coverage are not guaranteed. Product imagery in the main index comes from retailer feeds; this showcase artwork and copy were made for the project.
