1. What this app does
- Public users can browse the live product catalogue, filter by groups, search, expand cards to view full pack details, and download the catalogue.
- Admins can log in, seed or update data, upload images, and manage brand settings with a complete audit trail (who changed what and when).
- Nova Navigator (AI) helps viewers quickly find items, filter by size/price, and jump to products — using only the local catalogue data.
2. Quick start for everyone
- Go to https://catalogue.novapurefoods.in/.
- Click View Our Catalogue to open the product list.
- Use the group chips (All, Pastas, Flours, Canned & RTE, Juices, Pickles & Vinegar) and the search box to narrow results.
- Each product shows a details strip (Packing Type • Size • /Case • HSN • MRP). Click a card to expand and see the full packaging table (incl. GS1) and description.
- Download options:
- Download Catalogue: if a brochure PDF was uploaded by Admin, it downloads immediately; otherwise a portable single‑file HTML is generated.
- Use the caret menu for Install App (PWA) or the Interactive Offline (.html) file.
3. Using Nova Navigator (AI)
- Click the chat button at the top‑right.
- Type a request like “show 500 g pouches under ₹150”, “HSN for Semolina Penne”, or “Take me to Mango Pulp Alphonso”.
- Use the links in the answers to jump straight to the product or filtered view.
- Admins additionally get helpers to suggest USPs (≤5 words), normalize units (kg↔g, L↔ml), and check HSN/GS1 presence.
4. Admin login (OTP)
- Open the app and press Shift + . (or visit
/manage?key=npf-rotate-me-monthly). - Select your admin email from the dropdown or type it in, then click Send OTP.
- Enter the OTP received on email to sign in. After success, an Admin pill appears linking to the Admin area.

6. Seeding & images

7. Tips & troubleshooting
- OTP not arriving: ensure email keys are set; check spam; resend. The app won’t show dev OTPs when email is configured.
- No horizontal scroll: the catalogue is vertical‑only. If layout looks off after an update, hard refresh the page.
- Counts don’t match: run Hard Reset & Reseed again. If available, use Rebuild Counts.
- Install App: use the caret menu → Install App (PWA) on supported browsers.
- Keyboard: use ←/→ to move focus between cards, Enter to expand, Esc to collapse.
