What it is
PricePick is a Python web scraping project: a Flask web app that scrapes deals from online shops and gathers them in one place, so shoppers can compare prices without opening a dozen tabs. It was a group project at HIT with Percy and John.
My part
Most of the code was my teammates’ work. My side was the business: I used PricePick as the basis for the business model and business plan in our Technopreneurship course, wrote the project documentation and presented it. I also built a sample website for the scraping demo.
What I learned
Turning an idea and working code into money is not easy. The plan meant simulating how PricePick would perform in the real world, both financially and in demand.
