Did you know you can export your Amazon shopping history as a .csv file?
After the pandemic started, we began relying much more heavily on Amazon as our source of goods. So, naturally, this feature piqued my interest -- it started with a simple question, "If I'd just bought Amazon stock instead of [whatever], what's that investment worth now?"
From there, I started slicing and dicing the data in other ways: by category, by item, aggregated over time. Super interesting and eye opening.
Since it's useful for me and our household spending, I open sourced the code, made the functionality available for free. Privacy is super important -- the app runs entirely on the client side -- nothing is shared with anyone under any circumstances.
Nozama is little rough around the edges -- think MVP -- but I'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas for future features.
are you using the same categories AMZN provides or using another approach to categorize? You mention open sourcing the code, I would have checked there for an answer but couldn't find the link to it

Code lives here: https://github.com/jonroig/nozama
We're using the categories Amazon provides. One needs Amazon Product API access (I think) to get larger groupings from those niche categories...
