After starting to do groceries via an online supermarket that delivers to our home, I found it a hassle to add all ingredients one by one every time. So I "reverse engineered" the supermarket app API via a proxy, and made a tool to order recipes. When ordering a recipe, all ingredients are added to the cart. We use the tool for almost one year and it saved us a lot of time. More info + source code (Elixir, ReactJS): https://adrian-philipp.com/post/learning-elixir-second-side-...

A few months ago we changed our grocery shopping habits. Instead of going to a store a few times a week, we now order ingredients via an app and get them delivered the next day. Usually we order two times a week. When ordering, we plan what we are going to eat in the next 3-4 days.

Every time when we order we think of recipes to cook and their ingredients. Then we add every ingredient to the app. We also add essential ingredients like milk or eggs if we need them.

Automating this process sounded fun. The idea was born to speed up our grocery shopping by ordering recipes and their ingredients via the (reverse engineered) supermarket API.
