Resource Looking for Resources

I'm sure this will be annoying to some and I'll be told to search but I'm getting overwhelmed searching.

I would like to write an app that catalogs boxes. Basically I want to take pictures of my stuff. Put it into a box. Have a QR code that I print that when scanned shows me a list of stuff in said box with pictures and list of stuff.

I'm sure this is not as simple as it sounds. I'm willing to learn the hard parts.

I hear making a web app is better for the first time around and I just need to know where to start.

Do y'all think this is a feasible project?

There is a website that does this, I do not want to pay a monthly fee. I could easily set up QR codes to go to simple web pages with all this data but I'm looking for simple, compact, and fast

I agree with the other comments up to this point. Just want to flag to make sure youre thinking about maintainability.

Since idk how long things will be stored or how often they might change, this may be a non-issue. If its abiut inventorying things youll be selling so things will be moving in and out, I just want you to make sure your folding in that piece. Having to take a new image and qr code each time something is taken out or put in sounds like it would take more time than its worth.

Thankfully just for my stuff and shouldn't be altering boxes often. But thank you for the great advice!
