A smart touch-bar notification badge for "promising" Cumplo investment opportunities.

Cumplo is a chilean crowdlending company and certified B Corp, operating in Mexico, Peru and Chile, which connects loan applicant companies with a network of investors through its online platform. Cumplo's aim is to deliver a transparent and excellence service with fair rate. Its network consists of about 50,000 registered users on the website, 3,000 investors and 1,000 SMEs.

⌛ Good investment opportunities are financed in a matter of minutes by big bidders.
🚨 No real-time notification system for new investment opportunities.

I started using BetterTouchTool (BTT) for customizing my touch-bar and make it somehow useful. Then I found GoldenChaos (a general purpose touch-bar UI build on top of BTT) and it was a game changer. One of its cool features, are notification badges for different apps. Diving into BTT configuration, I found out that creating your own badge wasn't that hard. You can connect them to an apple script or shell script that's going to be executed periodically, updating its value.

Once you can execute code, the sky is the limit. So I built a scraper that searches Cumplo website for "promising" investment opportunities (based on your preferences) and displays in the badge how many did it find. Also, you can press the badge and it'll open Cumplo's webpage so you can invest as soon as you see the notification.
