CampSnag

> about_

CampSnag solves the frustrating problem of finding available campsites at California's most popular state parks. It monitors ReserveCalifornia for cancellations and instantly alerts users via push notifications, email, SMS, and browser alerts.

Started as a Python prototype using Selenium and crawl4ai for automated scraping with a Flask dashboard, then evolved into a full Next.js application with real-time WebSocket connections, park discovery, alert subscriptions, a user dashboard, and Stripe-powered premium tiers. Uses BullMQ + Redis for background job processing.
