First there was BagsOnSale but, after an amount of refactoring, now there’s also DressFwrd. Where the former is a generated edit focusing on discounted items from multiple sources, the latter is a both a single source of content and specifically international designer brand dresses only.

I hope to add another which will be specific to Australian-based dress designers, and another which will be specific to international non-discounted bag brands. At some stage I’d like to look into having the bots engage with each other…

DressFwrd | BagsOnSale

I started playing around with hashtags on twitter.com/bagsonsale and posts there each have two hashtags, but I’ll look into expanding it the future. Also, after running for a couple of months the bot is starting to run out of content, I’ll have to find it some more sources.

I implemented a full reskin of the website view of the feed and most importantly it now works on mobile. To achieve the design I had to override the styling on strikethrough text which is not available natively. The approach I’ve used to have orange strikethrough is detailed here.

When using material-ui/makeStyles in React (JSS?) you can’t set content: '' as it produces an invalid style. Instead wrap in quotes: content: "''".
