I will eventually. For now I rely on browser translations which work most of the time. My biggest focus right now is on recipe quality and getting the right mix as well as the AI mode.

That's pretty much the same setup we have at home. When we tried their service it was a bit expensive and came with a lot of packaging.

Thanks a lot.

- Tinder for food when you need to agree with the household. Both swipe, matches become dinner picks.

- Pick mode for when you're in the store looking like a deer in headlights at the produce section. It gives you 3 solid options instantly.

- AI mode (WIP) for "something with chicken, but I also have carrots in the fridge that are going bad."

Plus aisle-sorted shopping lists for everything. No more backtracking at Aldi.

I love cooking but the daily "what do you want" grind was killing me. Rushing to the store after work hoping for inspiration but leaving with the same five fallback meals. Recipes using half a box of something so you eat the same thing twice or watch leftovers die in the fridge.

The final straw was our newborn's milk protein allergy, turns out milk is in everything. Recipe sites are hostile. Ads reload and jump the page mid-sentence, 20 versions of every dish, comparing the 4.7 star rating version with the 4.8 star one. So you go by thumbnail. Visual clutter everywhere.

I tried the apps. One does swiping, one does shopping lists, one does Sunday budget planning, one has "what's in my fridge" mode. Pick your half-solution.

So I built what I wanted: swipe mode that makes picking dinner fun again, or instant 3 quality suggestions for when I am in the store. Aisle oriented shopping list, budget, personal taste, fridge inventory in one place. UI looks like a restaurant menu — off-white, black text, no glossy photos. I'm working on AI mode now. Not for recipe generation, which are mostly garbage, but for search and substitution.

love the idea. reminds me of gitignore.io. Two remarks. I'd choose a different emoji for downvotes and second, how do I add a logo when entering a new tag/tech?
