Inspiration
Everyone loves consuming cheap beer that's close to them. We decided to encourage this behaviour.
What it does
step 1: desire alcohol
step 2: click button to find cheapest beer
step 3: go buy it
How I built it
scrapy to scrape the LCBO and SAQ websites
firebase to store the info
android client displaying all the info
Challenges I ran into
all the alcohol retailers had different websites, a different scraper had to be written for each one
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
it works! (ish)
What I learned
how to recursively crawl through all the relevant webpages
regex
how to python
What's next for BeerBuddy
adding the beer store
UI improvements
gmaps addition when tapping on the drink
what are pictures
search bar to filter out drinks you don't care about
