Can I instacart w/o facebook? Can I instacart w/o an iPhone? (seems to have a web interface)
I'm in Palo Alto, so I fit the first requirement on space. I also have a desire to have this service and pay them my dollars occasionally.
Edit: Just realized that I missed the point of this post.

#6The iPhone app is actually why I never use this. It's too cumbersome to put together an order. It took my girlfriend and I just as long to find everything I wanted (no efficient way to browse) and put together the order as it would have taken us to just go to Safeway ourselves.

#8Finally! I've had half-finished Instacart orders sitting on my phone, just because I was too lazy to pick all the items from the mobile interface and kept losing track of what I still needed (don't judge me!).
I just tried the site and ordered my weekly groceries within a few minutes. It works great and has a refreshingly small amount of cruft. Just a searchable, categorized list of items, a shopping cart and a checkout button. Good work!

#9I checked out the InstaCart source code because I had a hunch it was built with Bootstrap. The header comments were hilarious.
"Yes, it's Bootstrap. Don't like it? Join us and fix it. Email jobs@instacart.com "
Maybe I will email jobs@instacart.com ...
