The plan was small: a shopping list that syncs in real time so stuff at home stops getting bought twice.

Weekend project, done in a month.

That was the idea anyway.

Then came "would be nice if you could paste a recipe URL and the ingredients land on the list".

Then a pantry tracker with expiry warnings because I kept finding dead yogurt in the back of the fridge.

Then meal planning.

Classic scope creep, I know.

So now it does shopping lists, recipes, weekly meal plans, pantry tracking and a family calendar.

A few things turned out better than expected:

\\- there's a chat inside each list ("which milk??" while standing in the store)

\\- you can photograph your fridge and it recognizes what's in there

\\- you can scan handwritten recipes to digitize them – built that for my grandma's recipes, no regrets

Tech: Flutter app, Node.js backend.

Side project next to a full-time job, so all of it happened on evenings and weekends.

Real talk though: I keep going back and forth on whether it does too much now.

If anyone takes a look, I'd genuinely like to hear if it feels bloated or if the features hang together.

Rip it apart if you have to.

Wanted to build a simple shared shopping list. 18 months later it's a whole household app.
