Title: Skilled Chrome Extension Developer Needed for Online Grocery Delivery Tool

We are seeking a highly skilled and reliable Chrome Extension developer to join our team on a one-time project basis to build a tool that allows users to easily find the caloric content of their groceries before they make their online purchases. The tool will consist of a chrome extension that integrates with Woolworths.com.au and Coles.com.au, and a backend Python script for data processing. Possibly using GPT3 to scan calories from the data but this seems somewhat inaccurate with calories.

As the developer, you will need to have a strong understanding of JavaScript and Python, as well as experience in building and maintaining Chrome extensions. You should also have expertise in UI/UX design, with the ability to create visually appealing and intuitive user interfaces. In addition, you should have strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and meet deadlines consistently.

Your responsibilities will include building the chrome extension using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as developing a Python script that can efficiently process and retrieve the caloric information for each item in the user's shopping cart. The chrome extension should be able to scan or scrape the items in the user's shopping cart on Woolworths.com.au or Coles.com.au, retrieve the caloric information from the Python script, and display the total caloric content for the entire shopping cart, as well as the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, to the user in a clean and user-friendly interface.

To make this a highly efficient and user-friendly chrome extension, some potential improvements could include:

Adding the ability for users to save and track their caloric intake over time.
Integrating with other online grocery delivery websites beyond Woolworths.com.au and Coles.com.au.
Allowing users to customize their caloric intake goals and receive personalized recommendations based on their goals.
Incorporating machine learning techniques to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the caloric information retrieval process.


If you are interested in this opportunity and believe you have the necessary skills and experience, please apply witha brief cover letter outlining your own thoughts on how to make this project better.
We look forward to reviewing your application.


Here is a step-by-step user flow journey for the chrome extension with a paywall feature:

1. User installs the chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store.
2. User visits Woolworths.com.au or Coles.com.au and adds items to their shopping cart.
3. User clicks on the chrome extension icon to activate the tool.
4. The chrome extension prompts the user to enter their payment information in order to access the caloric information feature.
5. Once the payment has been processed, the chrome extension scans or scrapes the items in the user's shopping cart on Woolworths.com.au or Coles.com.au and retrieves the caloric information, including the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, for each item.
6. The chrome extension displays the total caloric content for the entire shopping cart, as well as the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, to the user.
The user can review the caloric information and make any necessary adjustments to their shopping cart before proceeding with their online purchase.


Here are some potential differences between a free version and premium version of the chrome extension:

Free version:

Basic caloric information for each item in the shopping cart
Total caloric content for the entire shopping cart
Breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates
Premium version (paid):

Personalized recommendations for healthier alternatives or lower-calorie options
The ability to save and track caloric intake over time
Integration with additional online grocery delivery websites beyond Woolworths.com.au and Coles.com.au
