Plot twist: My teacher just asked for a simple project on plastic pollution, but i accidentally built an entire web app instead. 😅
Meet PlastiTrack — a tiny tracker to help you count your daily single-use plastic. The idea came from a simple problem: we all know plastic is bad for nature, but when we buy a ₹20 water bottle or chai in a plastic cup, our brain forgets about it in 2 minutes.
Truth is, nobody really remembers how many plastic water bottles, straws, or snack packets they throw away in a week. So I made this to turn that invisible habit into actual numbers.
What’s inside: • Zero-typing logging — just tap the + button when you grab a bottle or snack • Live tracker that calculates weight in grams + money (₹) spent • Practical eco-swaps for campus life. • Shows total grams + money (₹) wasted (so you feel the pain in your wallet too 😂) • A list of simple eco-friendly swaps you can actually use.
(Also please don't laugh at my video editing skills 💀. I spent hour at midnight fighting with a video editor just to make this small clip. Video editing is definitely not as easy as it looks!ðŸ˜)
Full disclosure: The web app was fun to build, but making this 20-second demo video humbled me completely. If the video looks a little funny, please forgive me, it was my very first time editing! 😂
Imagine opening your invoicing app at the start of the day.
Would you rather see how your business is doing first, or see which invoices need your attention?
We’re exploring both approaches for BizBill, a billing tool we’re working on. Same information, different starting point. Which screen would help you get on with your day faster?
Multi-tier pricing that updates live as you add pairs is the hard part to get right in native Liquid, most builds either hardcode the tiers or end up calling an app API on every quantity change. Curious whether the discount math runs client-side off a price map or you're hitting a line-item script/function on the backend for it.
