/Blookup

A simple book price comparison app for Taiwanese online bookstores

Primary LanguageSwift

Blookup

Compare book prices just by scanning its barcode!

  • App is written for iOS 11.3 since I don't own an iOS 12 device.
  • Right now, it mainly compares Amazon book prices to prices on Taiwanese online bookstores by scraping each website for the price data
  • This is my first legitimate app, so the codebase probably looks like spaghetti
  • The UI is very bland, but I think its enough to allow the app to be usable

Setup:

  • Create a property list (.plist) file named keys in the 'Blookup' directory, with a single key called 'currencyConversionApiKey' with a corresponding API key. The free API key can be created here.

Todos:

  • Modify the code to make it work on the latest iOS version (iOS 12)
  • Clean up the code
  • Figure out how to make the view controllers less cluttered
