Overview
I built a home grocery management app for shared living spaces. The app helps housemates track food items, storage locations, ownership, and expiration dates so they can reduce waste and avoid duplicate purchases.
My Role
I designed and implemented the React frontend, Firebase data storage, item management flow, and expiration tracking features.
Key Features
- Shared household item database
- Food and grocery tracking
- Storage location and ownership fields
- Expiration date tracking
- Alerts for items nearing expiration
- Real-time Firebase-backed updates
- Searchable inventory for fridges and cabinets
Technical Highlights
The core challenge was modeling household inventory in a way that multiple people could understand and maintain. I focused on simple data entry, clear item status, and real-time visibility across users.
What I Learned
This project gave me more practice building practical tools for everyday coordination, especially around shared data, Firebase persistence, and user-friendly forms.
