A new way to look at your grocery shopping list. Perfect if you plan your grocery shopping by recipes. The problem: - When meal planning - we create recipes, with products under each recipe. however - When shopping in the supermarket - we need to see products, with recipes under each product. The solution: PivotList allows you to do exactly this - view the same recipes and products, but in two different ways, depending on what makes sense in the moment. Explanation with example: Imagine you're planning a grocery shopping. You have some recipes: You would do something like: __________________ Guacamole - avocados - tomatoes - onion - lime juice Avocado toast - sliced bread - avocados - extra virgin olive oil Spring salad - cucumber - tomatoes - extra virgin olive oil __________________ You go to the supermarket and now you're in the fruit & veg area, buying tomatoes. You need to scroll up and down your grocery list to see all the recipes which mention 'tomatoes' (and when you put them in your basket - you need to tick them from all the different places where they appear). That's annoying and unnecessary. (In this very small example it's not an issue, but with 7+ recipes, each with 5+ ingredients and a few repetitions - it gets annoying quickly) PivotList solves the issue by allowing you to 'pivot' the data - so that the same shopping list shown above can be viewed like this: __________________ avocados - Guacamole - Avocado toast tomatoes - Guacamole - Spring salad extra virgin olive oil - Avocado toast - Spring salad (list continues with all the products that are part of a single recipe, e.g. 'onion', 'lime juice', 'sliced bread', 'cucumber') __________________ Now you can clearly see all the recipes for which you need tomatoes. Try it out for yourself! Note: Not only for grocery shopping! In the examples above we're talking only about culinary recipes, but PivotList could be just as useful for other lists.
