Why do meal and recipe planners pop up here so frequently?
And there aren't many good free solutions out there that are user-friendly and accessible everywhere easily. Desktop apps don't cut it anymore especially now that you want to share something in your family's chat group.
People have also started gathering/modifying their own recipes from sites all over, so importing recipes is becoming crucial, especially with certain diets and a personal <insert diet> plan.
I know, I've built one myself when learning new stack. Way more fun than todo app.
If I remember correctly, Doug Engelbart's Demo[1] included a feature to organize a shopping list.
And the history of Elasticsearch[2] also began with recipes.
Is there a highly configurable app for sorting groceries? I’m currently using the pro version of copymethat [0], and it does a decent job of figuring out what aisles certain products belong to, and then let me sort those aisles however I want.
But what I can’t do, is telling it that I don’t have "eggs & dairy" but instead those are two sections in different places (and still properly sorting). I also can’t save separate orders for the aisles, one REWE has aisles sorted X Y Z, the other might be X Z Y. And I also want it to know about some local brands. "Deit" (German no sugar soda) gets currently sorted into "Other" by default, while I want it to be in "Beverages"
I even tried to make something like that myself, but besides my lack of knowledge of ML, I also had issues getting the proper data in a clean format, I ended up having to create a 100 item dataset which then (either in general or because I didn’t know what I was doing) was not enough to get good results.
