ProductMiner

ProductMiner is an extendable price monitoring software. Give it a place to live, feed it with API definitions, and it will record the prices of your favorite products.

Background

This project began as my first Ruby project. Compared to other hello-world projects, I intend to make this a full-featured product. As this is my first Ruby project, I planned the roadmap for my learning rather than for efficiency. That's why there will be a lot of refactorings to do.
