EcoCart

Eco-Friendly Shopping Driven by Artificial Intelligence.

Comment

Inspiration 💡

The push behind EcoCart is the pressing call to weave sustainability into our everyday actions. I've envisioned a tool that makes it easy for people to opt for green choices when shopping.

What it does 📑

EcoCart is your AI-guided Sustainable Shopping Assistant, designed to help shoppers minimize their carbon impact. It comes with a user-centric dashboard and a browser add-on for streamlined purchase monitoring.

By integrating EcoCart's browser add-on with favorite online shopping sites, users can easily oversee their carbon emissions. The AI functionality dives deep into the data, offering granular insights on the ecological implications of every transaction.

Our dashboard is crafted to help users see their sustainable journey and make educated choices. Engaging charts and a gamified approach nudge users towards greener options and aware buying behaviors.

EcoCart fosters an eco-friendly lifestyle, fusing AI, an accessible dashboard, and a purchase-monitoring add-on. Collectively, our choices can echo a positive note for the planet.

How it's built 🏗️

EcoCart is carved out using avant-garde AI tools and a strong backend setup. While our AI digs into product specifics, the backend ensures smooth data workflow and user engagement. A pivotal feature is the inclusion of SGID to ward off bots and uphold genuine user interaction, delivering an uninterrupted user journey and trustworthy eco metrics.

Challenges and hurdles along the way 🧱

  • Regular hiccups with Chrome add-on's hot reloading during development
  • Sparse online guides on meshing Supabase Google Auth with a Chrome add-on
  • Encountered glitches when using Vite for bundling our Chrome extension

Accomplishments that I'am proud of 🦚

  • Striking user interface
  • Working prototype
  • Successful integration of Supabase in our Chrome add-on
  • Advocacy for sustainability through #techforpublicgood

What I've learned 🏫

  • Integrating SGID into a NextJS CSR web platform
  • Deploying Supabase in a Chrome add-on
  • Crafting aesthetically appealing and practical charts via Chart.js

What's next for EcoCart ⌛

  • Expanding to more e-commerce giants like Carousell, Taobao, etc.
  • Introducing a rewards mechanism linked with our gamified setup
  • Launching a SaaS subscription model for our user base.
