Shopping. Plenty of places in the UK have online shopping with home delivery but the interface is terrible. If they published an API someone could do a proper job of it. I would pay a fair bit of money for a weekly box of food with a list of recipes for each day so I don't have to make decisions. Even better if I can thumbs up/down each meal and the system learns what kind of food I like.
- ltamake 15y agoThis. Most online catalogues are awful.
- ZeroMinx 15y agoI'd say Ocado is good! Would love for them to have an API though..
- revorad 15y agoI am working on a shopping site - http://giniji.com http://giniji.com. It only has laptops right now but I am looking at adding other categories too, including food. I would love to hear more about the kinds of things you'd find useful (email in profile). I am also based in the UK.
- tomfitzhenry 15y agoI am a web developer at Ocado. I have forwarded this on to my boss. Realise, of course, that this isn't simply a matter of releasing an API. I do like the idea of a system that learns recipes that you [probably] like, and sends you their ingredients and a recipe every few days.
- ig1 15y agoI assume that it's doable one way or the other, there are a number of third party sites like MySupermarket which can automatically add products into your basket on different supermarket sites. I'm guessing they do so either via URL hacking or XSS, but it should be fairly easy to figure out.
