Shopping List

An early project, built with vanilla JavaScript and Firebase to understand what a realtime database actually changes.

The moment it landed: two phones open on the same list, an item added on one, and it appearing on the other with no refresh and no code I had written to make that happen. Once you have felt the difference between polling for state and subscribing to it, you design around it differently.

Kept here because it is honest about where I started.
