Lending Club Watcher

Hypothesis

If a user spent the time to fill out a description for their loan, they're much more likely to repay that loan than someone who didn't.

The Problem

There's no way to tell if a loan has a description from the loan list. Each loan needs to be individually inspected. 😒

The Solution

Push notify me when a loan with a description is found.

• Lending Club

Usage

Start a process that checks every 10 minutes
