Could you build this?

Partial An iPhone app with share extensions, collections, and notifications is buildable, but reliable price and stock tracking across many retailers is the hard part.

What it would actually take: The app can be built with Swift or SwiftUI, a share extension, and push notifications. Price tracking needs a backend that periodically fetches product pages, parses prices and stock states, and handles bot protection, site-specific breakage, and affiliate or retailer APIs where available. Scaling this across stores is a continuous scraping-operations problem that requires backend and anti-scraping expertise.
