Grocer is currently deployed at https://www.my-grocer.com
Grocer is a purchase tracking web app that parses a user's New Seasons Market e-receipts and transforms that data into a postgres database of baskets (i.e. receipts), line items, and products that a user can navigate, search and sort through. Detailed analytics are presented in interactive charts at the top of the index and show pages. Grocer also includes a "smart" shopping list maker built with AngularJS that leverages the product information in the database to allow users to quickly make lists with accurate pricing information baked in. Lists are automatically emailed to the user when saved.
A user may send their New Seasons receipts to Grocer in one of two ways. First they may forward their emails to Grocer's intake email address [email protected]. Grocer uses the Mailgun API to transform those emails into POST requests that it processes with its parser. Short video guides for setting up an auto-forward filter are provided at https://www.my-grocer.com/about. Second, users with gmail may choose to perform a bulk import of their receipts. Grocer will access the user's gmail inbox using Oauth2 and the google api library to search for and retrieve the e-receipts.
New Seasons Market e-receipts sometimes contain abbreviated or otherwise unclear product names, so on each product show page there is an input for a product "nickname". Nicknames submitted by regular users through that input are routed to a review queue accessible only by admin-level users, where they can be approved or rejected. Admin-level users can also directly edit nicknames on the product show pages without additional review. Once a nickname is submitted/approved, the product will appear only by its nickname, for both past shopping receipts as well as any that are scraped in the future.
Additionally, New Seasons Market often fails to include unit pricing and weight amounts on items from their meat, fish and deli counters, giving the user only a total price for the item (i.e. a $18 chicken thigh). Grocer allows an admin user to manually add a unit price to a given product - that new unit price will now affect all past and future line items for that product, generating a contrived weight derived by dividing the total price by the inserted unit price. Line items that have been generated this way are highlighted in the basket show views. Currently this feature is available from the rails console.
