AdVantage

Desktop Application - Ad-Based Rewards System

About

AdVantage is a desktop application built with Python and tkinter that allows users to earn points by watching ads and use those points to purchase products. The application features a client-server architecture where product management is handled on the server side, while users interact through a standalone desktop client.

            Ad Integration: This application integrates Google AdSense to display advertisements. Users watch ads within the application to earn points, which can then be used to purchase products.

Technical Details

Platform: Desktop Application (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Technology Stack:

Python tkinter Flask SQLite Google AdSense

Ad Display

Google AdSense advertisements are displayed within the application using a local HTTP server. When users click "Watch Ad", the application starts a local server and opens an HTML page containing the Google AdSense integration code in the default web browser. Users must watch the ad for the specified duration (default: 30 seconds) and click the completion button to earn points.

Application Architecture

The application uses a client-server model:

Server: Flask-based API server for product management and order processing
Client: Standalone tkinter desktop application for end users
Communication: RESTful API for product synchronization and order submission

Target Audience

This application is designed for users who want to earn rewards by engaging with advertisements. The ad-based monetization model allows users to access products and services through ad engagement rather than direct payment.

Ad Monetization

This application uses Google AdSense for ad monetization. AdSense provides relevant advertisements to users, and revenue generated supports the rewards system. Users can earn points by engaging with ads displayed through the application.
