## What it is
A full-stack price tracking application that scrapes product prices (currently Amazon.ca) using Playwright and Bright Data's Scraping Browser, with a Flask backend and React frontend. It includes a scheduler for automated price collection over time.

## Use cases
- track amazon product prices over time
- scrape product prices automatically
- monitor price drops on amazon
- build a price history tracker
- automated web scraping of e-commerce sites
- get notified when a product price changes

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made full-stack price tracker with a web UI
- you need scheduled automated scraping of Amazon product pages
- you want to learn a Flask + React + Playwright scraping stack

## When to avoid
- you need scraping of sites other than Amazon without modifying the scraper
- you require a maintained project with a license or long-term support
