This is a bot 🤖 that will refresh a product page on newegg or amazon at a configurable rate. The bot will check to see if the item is in stock and that the price is below a configurable amount. If so, the item will be purchased by going through whatever process is specific to the vendor. This requires being able to skip advertisements, surveys, insurance offers, etc. The bot will use all default options set on each site so it is important that the correct address and credit card is selected.

Things are pretty rough right now. Many things probably don't work right. Basically the app can buy regular items from stores, but actually getting a 3080 would probably fail badly. Logic needs to be added that will figure out if something went wrong. Specifically when an item purchase is attempted but the item does not actually go in the cart or a message pops up that says the item is out of stock. With amazon the item will need to refresh and resubmit the form until out of stock for example.
Below are a list of things that really should work before this is anywhere near safe to run. Checked items should roughly work, but unchecked are known issues that will cause failure loops or keep buying over and over.
This list will probably grow:
- fix chrome data directory failures
- purchases highly-available items
- purchases low-availability items (ie. 3080)
- knows to refresh and submit form on amazon until out of stock
- reworked logic to be stateless
- purchases highly-available items
- purchases low-availability items (ie. 3080)
- knows when to stop after successful purchase
- adds browser-based ui
- adds remote control
- adds un-logged-in remote communication
- provides better logging

Each chrome client has to use its own directory and they will error
if they try to share. Logging in with every window, every time would
be too much. Instead A window to log in will pop up and then close
after logging in. This client's directory will become the template
for the rest of the bots. This is so they can share sessions and
all stay logged in. These directories can become stale so just
delete them all in the joinem_data to regenerate. This also
has the benefit that we can keep the users actual chrome data
away from all of this and that it will be much faster to copy
newly generated chrome user data directories.
