About.
Pantra was the project I worked on before PlayVessel and was meant to be a tracker of the various items people have around the house, in their pantry, fridges, and freezers. With the ability to set minimums and shopping lists be automatically generated for the missing items.
Challenges.
Pantra was an Electron.js powered app and while I had worked in Electron before, this was the first time I tried with any actual thought behind it. I had to learn how to handle user save data, and configurations. Handling user save data in a JSON file without a database was the biggest challenge, as I basically made a JSON file powered database. It was quite fun!
Aftermath.
Pantra was conceived the summer right before I moved into my very first apartment on my own going into my second year of college. As such, I was thinking of all the different things that could make my life easier while living on my own, and I thought something like this would have been helpful. Ultimately the project fell to the wayside after a couple of weeks as I realized that it wouldn't be very useful as a desktop app. Pantra's failure gave birth to PlayVessel, which has become my favorite project. Thank you Pantra.
