Instacart (YC S12) launches website to complement its grocery delivery app

Finally! I've had half-finished Instacart orders sitting on my phone, just because I was too lazy to pick all the items from the mobile interface and kept losing track of what I still needed (don't judge me!).<p>I just tried the site and ordered my weekly groceries within a few minutes. It works great and has a refreshingly small amount of cruft. Just a searchable, categorized list of items, a shopping cart and a checkout button. Good work!

Unrelated:<p>Can I instacart w/o facebook? &#60;strike&#62;Can I instacart w/o an iPhone? (seems to have a web interface)&#60;/strike&#62;<p>I'm in Palo Alto, so I fit the first requirement on space. I also have a desire to have this service and pay them my dollars occasionally.<p>Edit: Just realized that I missed the point of this post.

The iPhone app is actually why I never use this. It's too cumbersome to put together an order. It took my girlfriend and I just as long to find everything I wanted (no efficient way to browse) and put together the order as it would have taken us to just go to Safeway ourselves.

Did Instacart stop with the iPhone notification SPAM?

There's no way to browse the products available without logging in. Maybe I'm missing something?

I haven't tried the service since I'm not in the coverage area but it would be nice if you could take a pic of a grocery reciept and let it automatically import an order
