    That's funny, I've just built the same thing for Asda in the UK https://github.com/markDunne/asdabot

    It can search for items, add them to the basket, picks a delivery slot and does the checkout.

    With a little more scaffolding in markdown files, this now takes care of my weekly shopping.

    I love the idea of a CLI for groceries. Do you have plans to support 're-order' scripts or meal-plan integration? I can imagine a workflow where a recipes.yaml file gets piped into your CLI to automatically fill the cart with everything needed for the week. Much faster than clicking through a mobile UI.

    Funny enough I was looking at rewe network requests for a personal app that suggests weekly meals and automatically orders the ingredients for you

    Really cool to see things still being built in Haskell! How do you find using it compared to some of the newer languages that have more modern tooling?

    Did you implement your own OAUTH2 flow in haskell for this?

    Very cool! Thanks for sharing, I’ll try it out.

    Haskell is indeed an interesting choice. ;)

    this feels a bit like Sandra Bullock ordering pizza in „The Net“, impressive

    Nice! Do you know if the Austrian billa (REWE's subsidiary) is using the same api?

      My friend works at Billa AT; I could ask her – but that would be cheating ;-)
