So, I built an app for exactly this type of scenario[1]. My wife would ask me to buy something, and then forget, so she'd send an updated email. And then an updated updated email.

And then possibly a text message. Of course, it goes from being 2 things to 10 things quickly. And then I'd have to deal with actually keeping the list orderly and constantly checking what I did have in the basket already (more difficult with 20+ items).

So, I wrote an app. It was funny, building a "twodo" app. But honestly, I just needed something that worked.

I mention all of this because it did start with trying to use what we already had.
