MTG Fetch is a Ruby on Rails 4 application that I made during my time at the Actualize programming bootcamp. The back end of this application was written in ruby and the front end was written in html, css and javascript. Postgresql was used as the relational database to store card and pricing data.
MTG Fetch automates the process of investing with three features.
-Collection manager -Price histories -SMS notifications
The collection manager allows the user to see their entire Magic the Gathering card portfolio. They can see the current market price of their cards and how many of the cards they own. They can click on 'read more' for more information.
Once a user adds a card to their collection, MTG Fetch will show the price history of that card, if that card does not exist in the app's database, it will be created and begin to collect current price information on that card and save it every day.
A user can set a desired buy or desired sell price and when the market price of that card reaches that price, MTG fetch will notify the user of the new price change.
