grocerystoreinsider.com WordPress Theme and Blog Site

Personal Website WordPress Theme – 2020

When I initially built this website, I designed it using Adobe XD in such a way where my projects would have a short description along with a link to the project. However, in practice, this proved to be a bad […]

Store System – Sign Making Package

As part of the Retail IT Package I had been working on, I wanted to take MongoDB Collection Data and have an easy method to turn that data into printable customer-facing signage. Using this program, a store employee could simply […]

During the creation of my Produce Code PLU Database, I was making use of JavaScript Objects to hold the data needed for the project. This data at the time included the Item Code, Item Category, and Item Name – perfect […]

Shopping List & Integrated Store Navigation

When I was beginning to really sink my teeth into JavaScript, I, like many people, resorted to watching tutorials on YouTube and coded along with the videos as they were being presented. This is a great strategy when you’re learning, […]

Produce UPC/PLU Code Lookup Tool

Due to the nature of working in a supermarket produce department, I have encountered many instances where needing to know the PLU code (or price lookup code) was important. However, information for that is not readily available in many cases, […]

COVID-19 Data Around The World

In April of 2020 – admittedly some of the earlier days of the current pandemic – I was eager to build my skills as a developer and incorporate an API into a new project. It hadn’t been my first time […]

A Valentine’s Day Card

In February of 2020, in addition to a physical Valentine’s gift to a wonderful woman I’m fortunate to have, I decided to build her a digital extra. The project starts with the image of a Mouse head – Mickey’s, that […]

GatsbyJS Personal Site

In November of 2020 I was forced to self-isolate as my Covid Alert app notified me of potential exposure. It was a great time to learn something new, and I decided to tackle GatsbyJS and its GraphQL image lookup. This […]

React Store Map/Shopping List App

This is a new version of a Store Map App I built a year ago with Vanilla JavaScript, this time built with React. The application is custom-built for an unidentified store in Kitchener. It makes shopping easier by allowing customers […]

A&M Custom Creations – New Launch

Not too long ago, a longtime friend approached me knowing I’d been studying Web Development and asked me if I could help her launch her new Shopify store. Having had zero experience with Shopify, yet also wanting to be of […]

NodeJS Store System – Data

To an average outside, one of the big parts of web development that doesn’t get noticed is information design – how the pages flow, how the data is stored, and how you access said data. A price tag in a […]

A Free Public API for Produce PLU Codes
