On Feb 11, we released our second application, a shopping list manager, at Infodoro.com.

I am very excited about the launch of this application. This application is in line with our goal of creating applications that help people adopt a digital life style to manage their lives.

What this application lets you do is to manage your shopping lists online. You can create multiple shopping lists, add items to them and assign stores and categories to them. You can also mark which of the items are needed and if you have coupons for any of them. You can then filter the items by showing only the needed items, items from a particular store, items in a particular category or a combination of these criteria. You can also send your list by e-mail to any one.

This application is probably not the first shopping list application on the web but I do believe it is one of the best. This application is an example of how I like internet software to be, easy to use, unobtrusive, and continuously operating without long waits to break your thought process.

The team at Infodoro built it in such a way that you get the experience of a desktop application. You will feel that you are working on an application installed on your computer rather than in a browser on a web server. As you add items or stores or categories etc., you do not have to repeatedly press a save button and wait for the website to respond. You just keep adding the data and it is saved automatically on our servers. It feels that you were just working on an application like Notepad or Microsoft Word.

We also built it with a lot of features but in a way that you can use as little or as much of the application you want. You can start with creating one list with nothing more than the name of the items. You can then add other data such as stores and categories as you learn more. The application is user-friendly without being “expert-hostile”.

The application is still in beta and I am sure we can improve it considerably. So, please give it a spin at infodoro.com and send us your valuable feedback.

Cheers,
Deven
