- People sharing grocery shopping across devices
- Worth noticing
- Devices must have the list open together, even briefly, for changes to sync; each keeps its own copy in the browser.
Field notes
Lists are identified by three random words, which can be shared as a link, text, or QR code. The page says each device keeps a browser copy and syncs directly with other devices when both have the list open; offline changes are said to merge when devices meet again. The site also says anyone who knows a list’s words can open it, so the sharing key is important to keep among intended shoppers.
