How I built an amazon deal finding service with no code! (with link to editor)

(Video walkthrough and editor teardown at the bottom).

App Walkthrough

  1. User selects amazon categories he/she wants deals for on a Bubble app
  2. User selects additional specific products
  3. User creates an account
  4. I manually run a Browserflow scraper a few times a day on the various categories
  5. If any great deals show up, I use a backend bubble admin page to email the deals to any user who wanted to be alerted of that category/product.

Teardown

Video Teardowns:
Browserflow (scraper)
Bubble web app (web app)

Editor if anyone wants to see exactly how the bubble side was built: https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=index&id=amzn-baby-bestsellers&tab=tabs-1

Shoot me an email with your email if you want to see the browserflow workflow (there's no public share function unfortunately)

Would you pay $5/mth for more teardowns like this?

I'm thinking of maybe starting a blog and charging like $5/mth for people to access it. But I'd only do it if people find this content useful!
