🚀 DealDrop: Because Who Doesn't Love Hunting for Bargains? 💸

(When your code works but the deals don't)

Welcome to DealDrop, the app that turns your shopping addiction into a "smart investment strategy"! 🛒✨ Tired of paying full price? Join the elite club of deal hunters who spend more time stalking prices than actually buying stuff. Because nothing says "responsible adult" like refreshing a page every 5 minutes waiting for that 10% off. 🙄

🎯 Features That Will Blow Your Mind (Or Just Your Wallet)

• 🔍 Smart Price Tracking: Watch prices drop faster than your motivation on Monday mornings. Our cron jobs work tirelessly (unlike you) to check for deals every hour. ⏰
• 📱 Beautiful UI: Built with Next.js and shadcn/ui because who needs ugly apps? Looks so good, you'll forget it's just for saving money. 😍
• 🔐 Authentication: Sign up with Supabase because we trust you... mostly. Don't hack us, k? 🛡️
• 📧 Email Notifications: Get spammed with deal alerts! Because your inbox wasn't full enough already. 📬
• 🕷️ Web Scraping Magic: Firecrawl does the dirty work so you don't have to. Ethical scraping? What's that? 🤖
• 📊 Product Management: Add products, track them, lose them – it's like digital hoarding but with discounts! 🏷️

🛠️ Tech Stack

🛠️ Installation: Because Setting Up Is Half the Fun (Said No One Ever)

1. Clone this repo faster than you can say "impulse buy":

   git clone https://github.com/ashu-dwd/deal-hunt.git
   cd deal-hunt

2. Install dependencies – hope you have pnpm because npm is for peasants:

   pnpm install

3. Set up your env vars in .env – don't forget or it'll crash spectacularly:

   NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=your_supabase_url
   NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your_anon_key
   FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=your_scraping_key
   EMAIL_API_KEY=spam_enabler

4. Run the dev server and pretend you're a developer:

   pnpm dev

5. Open http://localhost:3000 and start hunting deals! 🏹

(You vs. the full-price item you're stalking)

🚀 Usage: How to Waste Time Productively

1. Sign Up/Login: Because anonymous deal hunting is for amateurs. 🔑
2. Add Products: Paste that Amazon link and watch the magic happen. ✨
3. Wait for Deals: Our cron job checks prices. Go make coffee. ☕

Pro tip: Set up alerts for things you actually need, not just "that one gadget you've been eyeing for 6 months". 💡
