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.

Nice site!

It would be great if you could keep track of what people Add with the "Add your own!" box, that way you include those basic things without having people type them in each time. For instance, I noticed plain Cheese and Eggs are missing and I suppose others would want those as well.

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

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