Your Heisse Price project inspired me to start scraping data for Canadian grocers and to make it available to everyone online. I've been doing it since February of 2024. More than the technical aspects of your project, it was your attitude that encouraged me to make an impact on our out-of-control grocery industry.If you're up for chatting about Heisse Price and sharing your insights, let me know!Sincerely,    Jacob from Toronto</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/113/726/946/272/663/095/original/570ada5342bd73ae.png" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/113/726/946/272/663/095/original/570ada5342bd73ae.png</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/3797438">From the website:I Need Your Help
I can’t do this alone. This project can only succeed with a community of people around it – people like you, who bring their own skills and perspectives to the challenge.Reach out to me (email “jacob” at this website) if:You can do economic analysis of pricing data, and especially the interaction/correlation of multiple streams of prices across time
You are skilled with data processing and normalization
You’d play with the data for 1 day and tell me of all the bugs/issues/opportunities you found
You are doing similar pricing work in other countries / you’ve been inspired by Mario Zechner’s work
You are a data-oriented politician, aide, activist, journalist or lawyer who’s interested in improving Canada’s hyper-concentrated grocery sector</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/113/726/947/658/314/674/original/ada3e866b264497e.png" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/113/726/947/658/314/674/original/ada3e866b264497e.png</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/3797439">Untitled attachment</a></label><br></li></ol></footer></blockquote>

The web can be a cool place.
Jacob from Toronto has been inspired by my grocery price data mining bullshit and started scraping Canadian stores earlier this year.
He has lots of data, and needs help. Want to do something fun, educational and possibly useful?
