The Collab Lab (TCL) is a non-profit organization that provides an 8-week program for early-career developers supported by volunteer mentors. It’s a great space to practice collaboration, communication skills as it was a real work environment.
Goal the project
The goal of this project is to collaborate with your Collab Lab team to create a “smart” shopping list app that learns your buying habits and helps you remember what you’re likely to need to buy on your next trip to the store.
Tech stack: React & React Hooks, Firebase, Git, GitHub, and Firebase Hosting

Features
Something super important to mention is that the project experience is fully responsive (desktop & mobile version). They took care of every detail! 💚
1. Add/join a shopping list
They added a way to create new shopping lists that can be used to add products to buy. Also, they worked on a section where a user might write down a token shared (for instance it should already be registered in the database and add new products to the user list).
2. The Shopping list view
This is a page where users can take a look at the items that they want to buy and/or the items they bought already. This section includes filtering items by name and “checking” the items you have bought, so the algorithm can make estimations based on your previous purchases.
3. Add a product to the shopping list
The team created an accessible form (a11y) to let you add products to your shopping list, and allows you to pick when you are planning to buy the product (soon, kind of soon, or not soon) so the algorithm can estimate recommendations for your future purchases!.
4. Delete a product from the shopping list
To make your life easier, the team created a feature to delete products from the shopping list so you don’t need to have information that you don’t need anymore. They focused on accessibility to have a more inclusive experience.
