Hey guys,

Not sure if this is the right place, but just wanted to share the stock tracking website I built for LTCGear.com
It is very much a W.I.P. but I thought some feedback might be nice as to whether I should keep progressing with it or not.

Features

• Shows stock levels of all LTCGear 'Hosted mining (shares)' products
• Updates every 15s-1m
• For products in stock, it will track stock level changes +/-
• For products out of stock, it will let you know the last time said product was in stock
• Quick links to the LTCGear.com product page, and a straight-to-cart button for in stock products
• Sort in and out of stock products independently or hide out of stock products completely via Settings
• Notifications:
  • Check boxes to play an audio notification whenever a product is in stock
  • Notification will play every minute the product is in stock until you untick the check box
  • Mobile support: After loading the page, you need to click anywhere once to enable the sound notification (mobile devices need a user-interaction to enable sounds)
• Twitter notifications added @ https://twitter.com/LTCGearTracker
• Stock charts - see stock levels for up to 7 days previous.
• NEW! Keep up to date with Chris' news and forum posts at http://ltcgeartracker.com/news

Website

http://ltcgeartracker.com/ (http://ltcgeartracker.com/)

Planned Features

• I had a stock graph up when I was only tracking one product, I am hoping to get this back soon with stock levels for every product over time - Added

Bugs/Features

Post any bugs you find, and/or features you would like, and I'll do my best to comply - this is just a hobby for myself though, I do have a full-time job to work so don't expect miracles.

• Bug: Stock shows as negative. - Not a bug, these numbers come directly from the LTCGear.com store..
• Feature: Social media notifications. - Added Twitter notifications @ https://twitter.com/LTCGearTracker

(Litecointalk thread: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=23295.msg221452)

So I've added Twitter notifications.

https://twitter.com/LTCGearTracker

Here is how it currently works:

If stock was previous <= 0 and is now > 0 :: now X in stock tweet
If stock was > 1 and is now exactly 1 :: only 1 left tweet
If stock was > 0 and is now less than before and 15 minutes has passed :: still X left tweet
If stock was > 0 and is now <= 0 :: now out of stock tweet

All times on tweets are in UTC.

nice job!!!

Update

Stock history charts added!  You can see the stock levels for each product over the previous 7 days.

Note

Chris has set the stock level for 15k and 40k mega packs to unlimited so there is no way for the tracker to keep track of stock levels for those products currently.
I guess he doesn't want us knowing how many of them are sold at this black friday event.

I've manually set the stock levels to 10,000 for the moment to show that there is "unlimited" stock.

(This will also mean the graph won't update for these products).

How is it possible that he is selling so many shares?


I mean the total hashrate of the network should explode now

or... we all get paid for the next several weeks....

if network hash doesn't explode you'll know something is fishy....

and it has not exploded yet.

Looks like it's exploding to me? and this is just litecoin.

click on 1 month - there's a little different story here

Update

The Bad:
I had to re-write the stock checker this morning to take account of items being marked out of stock, but still having a stock level. The way I was checking stock before was more efficient in terms of page requests, but couldn't handle this edge case (we've went from 5 requests/minute to 4+4n requests [where n is the number of items currently in stock]). Unfortunately as a side effect, this means that we can no longer see negative stock values.

The Good:
I've updated the chart so show steps instead of lines, which makes it a lot easier to tell what is happening. - Check the 'ASIC share 1K83 – Special' for the last 12H, its rather interesting.

Update
Fixed a bug in the graph, it actually makes sense now!
