Collect used working coupon codes

[Azyrod]

I know that you already collect coupons by scraping websites, but I think the extension should also collect coupons used by users that have the extension.

This would help collect potentially better coupons for the users as well as more relevant coupons, since you will collect only the coupons that the website accepted.

Yes this would require a per-site custom scraping logic at checkout, but by focusing on a few of the most used websites you could provide a lot of value to a lot of people quickly. (to identify "most used" websites, you could either rely on "common knowledge" or anonymously count the number of successful purchases with an active coupon per domain, and just check in your DB which domain has the higher count)

@Azyrod
I agree. But if we implement this, I suggest we explicitly ask users for permission to share their successful coupons, perhaps via a prompt after purchase or application. We're already planning an API v2 endpoint to facilitate user submissions, which would support this.

I also think that long-term reliance on scraping presents potential legal risks as the project scales. Therefore, transitioning towards user-submitted coupons is great for enhancing our database sustainably.

What do you think @Abdallah-Alwarawreh?
