Bargain Hunter: Catch That Amazon Deal with Twilio

The article describes how to create an application that uses Twilio's SMS service to notify users when prices for products they are interested in have dropped on Amazon. The application accepts an Amazon product URL, polls Amazon to get pricing information, and sends an SMS with the new price if it is lower than the previous one. The application also generates a shortened link to the item, allowing users to buy it directly from Amazon. The application uses ASP.NET MVC 5, Entity Framework 6, and Hangfire to manage tasks and recurring jobs. It also includes features such as adding deals to the database, viewing tasks, and deleting deals.
