I built Price Snooper, a tiny macOS menu bar app that watches product prices for you and lets you know when they drop.
Add a product, pick a size or variant, and let it quietly keep an eye on the price.
Save money without refreshing store pages all day.

Haha
WHY IS THIS GUY DRIVING AROUND WITH 100s OF PHONES IN HIS CAR?
Well, apparently, this is a shady but effective local SEO hack lol
“Google has a patent describing directions-based ranking of places. It explicitly describes using direction requests and mobile location/search logs as signals of a place's popularity.”
So now, there are literal services like this where they drive around with 100s of phones to your local business...
Indicating your business is in demand, and this will apparently boost your local ranking
can’t wait to see what Google will do about this

I've been disappearing down an app-building rabbit hole lately.
One of the ideas that came out of it started with something very ordinary: protein powder.
Today, that idea is live on the Mac App Store.
It's called Price Snooper. 🧵

The bigger story for me is what AI coding has unlocked.
I’ve programmed for years, but tools like this have massively shortened the gap between:
“I have an idea…”
and
“I’ve built it.”
I wasn’t deeply familiar with Swift or Xcode before this, but now I can spend more time on the idea itself.
And the best part?
I’ve already used Price Snooper to track the protein powder that partly inspired the idea…
…and it’s already saved me money.
