When Shopping Lists Outgrow the Grocery Store

Daniel and Hannah need groceries, drywall anchors, and IKEA parts — but no single app handles all three. This episode explores why grocery-centric apps like Bring fail outside the supermarket, why "store" matters more than "category" as an organizing principle, and whether building your own system with AI is finally viable. We trace the data model problem, the Home Assistant detour, and what the last six months of AI tools changed about the build-vs-buy calculus.
