Jedi Price Sentinel

Inspired by the 'E-Commerce Pricing' scraper project's data-gathering capabilities, the novel 'Nightfall's' themes of societal control and adaptation, and the classic, accessible storytelling of 'Star Wars: A New Hope,' the 'Jedi Price Sentinel' is a low-cost, individual-implementable retail technology. The core concept is to create a simple, user-friendly web application or browser extension that small, independent retailers can use to monitor competitor pricing for specific product categories. It will scrape publicly available pricing data from major e-commerce platforms, similar to the initial project idea. However, the 'Nightfall' influence comes into play by incorporating a light, predictive element. Instead of just showing current prices, the tool will offer a 'Jedi intuition' feature, suggesting optimal price points based on historical data, competitor trends, and even perceived demand elasticity (simplified). The 'Star Wars' element is about the user interface and experience: intuitive, empowering, and perhaps with playful, thematic naming conventions. For example, competitor price drops might be termed 'Imperial Bargains,' and recommended price increases could be 'Galactic Opportunities.' The 'high earning potential' comes from a freemium model: a basic version with limited scraping and prediction capabilities offered for free, and a premium subscription for more extensive data, advanced prediction algorithms, historical trend analysis, and perhaps integration with existing inventory management systems. The niche aspect is targeting the underserved small business market who can't afford expensive enterprise solutions, offering them a 'force' to compete.
