Grow a Garden - Shop Tracker

A monorepo containing a full-stack application for tracking a popular Roblox game called Grow a Garden. This project was created to solve the tedious process of having to log into the game just to check shop inventories. With this tracker, you can conveniently monitor shop contents without the need to launch the game.

Important

This project is no longer under active development.

Features

• Live monitoring of in-game shop inventories
• Wishlist system for tracking specific items
• Push notifications for wishlist item availability
