This is such a cool little project! I'm planning out a dedicated setup for my kitchen, particularly for recipes, but inventory management is another opportunity I've been wanting to explore.
Great writeup with detail!
- carrigan 8y agoThank you very much! I'd love to hear about what you come up with for recipe management.
- froindt 8y agoRight now I'm going very low tech for recipe management...I send a DM to my SO on slack. That's most of what we use the DM for, an archive of things we've made. We mostly need a bigger screen in the kitchen that stays on while making a recipe. A Microsoft Surface we have laying around will be used for that. I'd like to do a database of products purchase, purchase date, price paid, scan a barcode and mark it as consumed, and calculate typical consumption rate of the products. I will keep things pretty simple, either a sqlite database that stays local or a LAMP setup so I've got access to an inventory list at the store along with "price check" functionality.

- raarts 8y agoApparently many grocery store chains offer APIs where you would be able to download information on what you bought. Anybody know more on this?
- froindt 8y agoI checked Aldi and two regional grocery stores near me...no public API. One does have a delivery service, but that API is closed off it looks like.
