>A working grocery tracking system is a half-solution to effortless shopping.

>A half-working grocery tracking system is useless, much like a car without an engine.

Yes. Something designed to be a half solution can be useful. But a full solution which is broken is probably worse than useless.

I can't really think of a use case for a grocery tracking system that only tracks a third of my groceries. A system that tracks everything would be massively useful, however.

    Me too. I think I’m not communicating clearly. Sorry.

    What I’m talking about is a system that does only one third of the steps in the total end-to-end process for ALL your groceries. You do the rest yourself, or use other help.

    I’m not advocating a broken system that claims to do that complete process, but really ignores two thirds of your groceries. That would be damn stupid.

    Do you understand what I mean?
