Thanks for the feedback. Few people have asked me to open source this and they were keen to add some features like the one you mention i.e being able to save the lists, editing categories. I will clean up the code and release it soon.


This is a good idea.I don't have to start over for my next time shopping. Thanks for the feedback. I will try to add this feature when time permits.


That is a good idea, however not what I actually meant.

I meant that when you add a new item to the lists (by entering in the text box) it could be selected automatically - because if you add it, you probably wanted to tick it but found it was not in the list.


I added this feature yesterda i.e after adding new custom item its checked and in the shopping list. I talked with another user (off HN) about this yesterday, maybe it was you.


Oops...it actually means support is offline. Thanks for reporting it. I have changed it to a more intuitive chat icon instead of text like "Offline". I was a bit lazy to add a custom form to submit feedback, ended up using tawk app. I can understand the confusion it might have caused.


Thanks, added it under beverages section for now.


Agreed, I was thinking of localstorage to store those "Add your own" items. I have added cheese & eggs for now as defaults.


Seeing all the defaults you're adding, I recommend having a way for users to remove default entries and/or ones they've added but aren't likely to need to purchase again.


Yeah, there needs to be a way to save "removed" and "added" items. I will add this feature.


Thanks, I have fixed this. Should have been cake mix :-).


The site was broken for safari. I have fixed it, hopefully should work now.


Hello HN, This is a simple side project I made to prepare grocery lists. Just pick the items and your shopping list appears on the right (on smartphones, you will have to scroll all the way down to get the list). You could then print, copy or e-mail the list.

Tech: It is a static site built with vue.js, bootstrap. There is no database or webserver. I bought the domain name for 88 cents and am hosting it on firebase for free.

Why I built this: I have trouble focussing on my side projects. My past 4 side projects never finished because they were too big or I lost interest. So, I picked a simple pain point I myself had and built this.

Let me know what you guys think.

As I don't need to do groceries that often, this is probably the biggest takeaway for me. An inspiration.


Adblock and readability feature integration is great! As a developer, could I ask you how you are implementing the readability feature? Is this done client side?
