CarNotify — an in-house app for Autopark

From January to April 2015 I built CarNotify for Autopark. It was a Windows application, not a website: Chrome engine in front, embedded Mongoose as a small server, PHP for Windows and Unix binaries in the same package.
The operator set search criteria. The programme walked known used-car listings, kept date added, brand and model, and notified by e-mail and Pushbullet. I do not publish listing URLs or collection scripts here.
For licensing it took a unique CPU identifier, checked it online, and only then fetched the rest of the runtime and the stored criteria. Autopark still uses it internally, with partners.
