Our chrome extension Cozy Cart is designed for quick food search. when you prepare for cooking and viewing a recipe online, you can simply select one ingredient and click the Cozy Cart icon, which will direct you to a new tab presenting the most relevant items from amazon fresh sorted by availability, price, and rating. So far, we have only realized the linking without a sorting function. If possible, our future development would be making this tab view into a floating window that can allow you to stay on the same page while looking for different items. We were inspired to create Cozy Cart because we realized how annoying it was to look for an ingredient in a recipe in stores for an unnecessary amount of time; with COVID-19, it’s even harder to find ingredients in store, so many rely on online services such as AmazonFresh to get the food that they need. We thought Cozy Cart would be a great way for users to get the ingredients they need in a recipe in a matter of seconds. We all learned more about front end development and using APIs. For some of us, it was more difficult as front end development wasn’t familiar, but we all helped each other out by providing links to helpful resources. Challenges we faced were finding the right APIs for our program, and modifying our code so it works on Chrome. If we were given more time, we would have loved to have made Cozy Cart available for every ingredient available as cabbage is unfortunately not used for everything. If we did more research, we could have overcome this challenge to make it more accessible for a variety of ingredients.
