Weekend vibe coding project tracks iPhone Duo pickup stock across 29 NYC Apple Stores every 5s

Developer MichaelRoyzen built "Duo Tracker" over a weekend: a web radar that monitors in-store iPhone Duo pickup availability across 29 Apple Stores in the NYC area.
Key features:
- Polls every 5 seconds, classifying stores as ready for pickup, dropped in the last 3 hours, or sold out
- Star stores to watch them individually
- Logs every drop with 7-day stats (drop count, stores hit, median life) so users can learn each store's restock pattern
- The author already snagged a pickup slot (11:45 a.m.–12:00 p.m. check-in) using it
Deployed on Vercel, it's a neat example of vibe coding turning a simple "stock watching" need into a working public tool in a weekend.
