Nebula Navigator: Celestial Bargains

A mobile app that tracks and notifies users of astronomical event-themed sales and discounts across various e-commerce platforms, inspired by sci-fi's vastness and e-commerce pricing strategies.

Inspired by the awe-inspiring scale of 'Interstellar' and the vast, interconnected universe depicted in 'Nightfall,' this project, Nebula Navigator, aims to bridge the gap between our fascination with the cosmos and practical consumerism. The 'E-Commerce Pricing' scraper project provides the technical backbone. Nebula Navigator will function as a niche mobile application that scans popular e-commerce websites for sales and discounts that are thematically related to astronomical events. For example, during a meteor shower, the app could identify deals on telescopes, stargazing equipment, or even galaxy-themed merchandise. During a lunar eclipse, it might highlight sales on home décor or sleep-related products. Users would set their preferences for which astronomical events they're interested in and what types of products they'd like to be notified about. The app would utilize web scraping techniques to monitor price changes and promotions, triggering push notifications to users when relevant deals are found. The 'Niche' aspect lies in its specific focus on space and astronomical themes, appealing to a dedicated community of space enthusiasts. 'Low-cost' implementation is achievable through readily available cloud scraping services and cross-platform mobile development frameworks. The 'High Earning Potential' comes from affiliate marketing partnerships with e-commerce retailers. As users click through deals and make purchases, the app earns a commission. This also aligns with the 'Interstellar' theme of discovering opportunities in vast, uncharted territories – in this case, the digital marketplace. The 'Nightfall' element adds a layer of mystery and discovery; users are 'discovering' these hidden deals like finding new celestial bodies.
