Full disclosure: I'm a developer and I built a little app to try to solve this for myself, so I have a bias here but I'm genuinely asking because I want to understand if I'm solving the right problem.
Not linking anything or asking you to download it. I just want to understand the real friction before I keep building in the wrong direction
The app asks you a few quick questions (time you have, dietary preferences, what you're in the mood for) and gives you a top 5 dinner picks for the night. No endless scrolling, no recipe blogs with 4 paragraphs before the ingredients.
It works okay for the "tonight" problem. But I'm not sure it actually helps people with the bigger meal planning picture.
So I'm curious for those of you who've tried to get more organized about dinners:
- What actually breaks the habit for you? Is it the planning itself, the grocery side, or just not following through?
- Have you tried apps for this? What made you stop using them?
Appreciate any honest takes.
