Spice Shelf Inventory Tracker for Home Cooks
Why This is an Opportunity
This solves a specific workflow problem where home cooks struggle to maintain an organized and up-to-date spice inventory. The solution is simple: a CRUD interface for adding and tracking spices, along with alerts for low stock and automatic list generation. This app requires only basic database and form handling with Next.js and can be built in one session.
Key Pain Points
- •Current process requires manually checking spice levels each time
- •Existing tools force users to use generic shopping lists, not tailored to their pantry
- •No way to automate low-stock alerts
- •Have to use a separate app for inventory and shopping lists
- •Manual process takes too long when deciding what to buy
Original Discovery
Home cooks often find it frustrating to manage their spice inventories because they either run out of spices or buy duplicates without realizing it. Current tools like general shopping list apps do not integrate well with specific pantry needs, leading to overstocking or sudden shortages. A simple web app could let them track their spice inventories, set alerts for low quantities, and automatically generate shopping lists when they need replenishing.
