“Babe what are we going to eat now?” 😭
I can’t even count how many times this question comes up every single week 😂
Every evening it’s:
“Babe what are we going to eat now?”
Then both of you:
check the fridge multiple times
scroll food videos
open delivery apps
still can’t decide 😭
So I built PikaNini — an app that helps you decide what to eat or drink based on:
your budget
ingredients you already have
cravings
and gives multiple meal options instead of endless scrolling
Still improving it, but I’d genuinely love feedback from Nigerians because your food combinations are elite 😂🇳🇬
Would you actually use something like this?

There’s just something special about a well-done Kenyan plate 👌🏾
Ugali ya wimbi, fried whole fish topped with onions & tomatoes, plus some greens on the side… clean, simple, and heavy 🔥
This one got me thinking —
how do you guys usually decide what to cook when you’re low on ideas? 🤔
Do you just freestyle, check what’s in the house, or plan ahead? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pikanini.app
Wale watu wa “babe leo tukule nini?” 😄… kujeni hapa.
I’ve been working on a small app called PikaNini, and it’s basically built around this exact struggle we all go through almost every day.
Instead of arguing or overthinking, the app helps you:
Decide what to eat based on your budget (KES)
Suggest meals depending on your mood (tired, hungry, lazy, etc.)
Let you scan your fridge and get ideas from what you already have
Or just find places to eat out nearby
So whether ni kupika ama kutoka nje, it helps you decide faster.
Still improving it, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback from you guys 🙏
What works? What doesn’t? What should I add?

If it saves you from that daily “tukule nini?” conversation… then it’s already doing its job 😄
Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been working on a mobile app called PikaNini, built around a simple but surprisingly annoying problem:
>
Instead of just being another recipe app, I tried to approach it from a decision-making perspective.
Core idea
Help users quickly decide between:
- cooking something
- ordering food
- or going out
based on real context, not just recipes.
Key features
- Mood-based suggestions (tired, hungry, lazy, etc.)
- Budget input → returns realistic meal options
- Fridge scanning → snap a photo, detect ingredients, suggest meals
- Cook vs Buy comparison → time, effort, cost
- Eat-out discovery → nearby places
Tech side (high level)
- Mobile: Flutter
- AI features: image recognition for fridge scan + decision logic
- Focus has been more on UX flow than heavy ML
What I’m trying to figure out
I’d really appreciate feedback on:
- Does this feel like a real problem worth solving?
- UX flow — is “decision-first” better than recipe-first?
- Feature scope — too much, or just enough?
- Anything you’d simplify/remove?
Here’s the app if you want to check it out:

Appreciate any honest feedback 🙏
Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been working on a small side project called PikaNini, and I just launched it on the Play Store.
The idea came from a very real problem:
“What should we eat?”
…that question that somehow takes longer than actually cooking or ordering 😄
So I built something to make that easier.
Instead of just giving recipes, the app helps you:
Decide whether to cook or buy
Suggest meals based on your budget
Use ingredients you already have
And now — if you already know what you want — you can just search and get step-by-step recipes
It’s kind of like a small decision companion for food.
I’m still improving it (a lot), and I’d really appreciate any feedback — especially on:
What feels useful / not useful
What you expected but didn’t find
Anything confusing in the flow

Would love to hear your thoughts 🙏
One thing that’s always annoyed me with Flutter…
You run:
flutter build apk
Build finishes successfully ✅
Then you’re like… “okay but where is the file?” 😅
And now you’re digging through:
build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/
or trying to remember the exact path every time.
So I built a small VS Code extension to fix this.
👉 It detects when a Flutter build completes
👉 Shows a notification with a “Locate Build” button
👉 Click it → opens the exact file/folder instantly
No searching. No guessing paths.
It works for APK, app bundles, web, desktop builds etc.
Still polishing it before release — planning to push it to the VS Code Marketplace soon.
I’m curious:
Would this actually be useful in your workflow?
Anything you’d want it to do differently?
Would love honest feedback 🙌
