The 209's Interactive News — From the Public, For the Public, Free
Sponsored by Epic App Solutions
Goes to a real person, sugar -- not some ol' queue.
Every place that sells food in the 209 — supermarkets, carnicerias, corner stores, drugstores, produce stands, farmers markets — plus a grocery list that knows what food is. Write the list by aisle, scan a barcode off the shelf, and flip it to the recipe book to see what the house can already cook. Sign in and it lives on your Gazette account — same list on your phone as on the fridge. Like the combos? The Combo Desk →
The list is what you're shopping for. In the House is what you already have. The book is what it can all become.
Tap got it when it lands in the cart, put it away when it hits the pantry -- the recipe book re-scores itself live as you shop. Anything the book doesn't recognize lands under new to the desk: it still shops fine, it just isn't in a recipe yet.
The shelf comes from OpenStreetMap's public map data and the desk's own rounds -- stores open, close and move. Missed one, or a card's wrong? Send a correction to the desk:
How it works: signed out, your list lives in this browser's storage and never leaves your device. Signed in, it lives on your Gazette account and follows you to any device. The recipe book and the store shelf are the paper's public files. Barcodes resolve against Open Food Facts and UPCitemdb -- product databases, not store trackers; nothing you scan is sold or shared.
