# Arcade Monitor
|
||||
|
||||
Arcade Monitor is a **monitor for the Hack Club Arcade Shop.** It continuously checks for new items, stock changes, and item updates, keeping you in the loop on the stuff you want. It chatters away in the [#arcade-monitor channel on Slack](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C079RG9HJ81) to over 350 members across Slack and ntfy.

## The first version
|
||||
|
||||
The first version of Arcade Monitor was a Cloudflare Worker written in TypeScript. In hindsight, a lot of the code was needlessly complicated, and the bot was _severely_ buggy. Take a look at this:

Yeah, that wasn't the greatest first impression... 😅
|
||||
|
||||
It also created random "updates" that were completely unclear - what had actually happened was that the _description_ had updated, but it showed a price update.

|
||||
|
||||
What was worse was that Hack Club had created a new channel called [#arcade-bulletin](https://google.com) that seemingly made the bot obsolete.

|
||||
|
||||
I did quickly realise, however, that the bot could track things like stock updates that were infeasible for Hack Club staff to do every time someone bought a YubiKey.

> (Also, fun fact: the YubiKeys are technically limited, but there's over 1,000 of them. The more you know 🤷♂️)
