Best Buy RTX 3070 Drop Predictor

Check out the latest prediction report!

Just like everyone else, I'm trying to score a RTX 3000 series graphics card. Specifically, I want the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition, sold at Best Buy.

A lot of people have scripts and tools set up to continuosly poll Best Buy for when the card is in stock, but I figured I would just try and use past data (from NowInStock.net) to try and predict when I should be checking the Best Buy website.

Will this work? Probably not, but it was a fun excuse to get a little more experience with React, Redux, TypeScript, and Material UI, so who cares?

Generating Data

I wrote some scripts to process and prepare the NowInStock.net data. To run those scripts for yourself:

node utility/export-drops.js > ./docs/data/drops.json
node utility/analyze-drops.js './docs/data/drops.json' > ./docs/data/drops-analysis.json
