Thanks for working on this! omg, the Christmas tree 🤦‍♂️ I remember I browsed IKEA products for a while to find a category which won't have any four digit prices, so that the exercise is simple. And they add a Christmas tree to artificial plants 🔥 👿 🔥

the amazon frontend seems to have changed it seems, it's not possible to get more than one price for the products with crawlee since they are dynamically loaded. I don't think it's worth refactoring over, I've just added a note to https://docs.apify.com/academy/expert-scraping-with-apify/actors-webhooks

I'm done with the onboarding, I fixed most things I was able to find, no perfect solutions for anything but still in the spirit of "if it's better than current, ship it" 😄

## Advanced Actor overview {#advanced-actors}

In this course, we'll be working out of the Amazon scraper project from the **Web scraping basics for JavaScript devs** course. If you haven't already built that project, you can do it in [three short lessons](../../webscraping/scraping_basics_legacy/challenge/index.md). We've made a few small modifications to the project with the Apify SDK, but 99% of the code is still the same.
In this course, we'll be working out of the Amazon scraper built in the old [Web scraping basics for JavaScript devs](../../webscraping/scraping_basics_legacy/challenge/index.md) course (not the [current scraping basics course](../../webscraping/scraping_basics_javascript/index.md)). If you haven't gone through it yet, we recommend doing so - it covers the fundamentals this project is built on. If you'd rather skip straight to this course, you can use this working implementation instead: [academy-amazon-scraper](https://github.com/apify-projects/academy-amazon-scraper).

Could you please clarify and simplify this section a little bit more:

  • You're talking about a course, but linking to a challange
  • When mentionining the working implementation, what do you mean by use it instead? Instead of what? It's not connected to previous sentences.

Wow, thanks for the detailed review! Happy to see such strict attitude around the docs, as it should be ;)

and you're right I should've read through contributing.md more carefully before the commits :)

will go through the comments in a bit.

There were a lot of small change commits so I merged them together and pushed with --force-with-lease, hope that's fine.

How do things look now?

edit: the preview build failed once despite the checks passing for some reason, I pushed an empty commit, preview built succesfully, then removed the empty commit to keep the history clean.
