Hey Preppers,

I would love to pick your brains a bit on a topic that never lets me rest.

My wife became T1D (essentially insulin-dependent) only 4 years ago, and since then I have been thinking through every possible "what if." For example: what if there is a power outage? (Insulin has to be kept refrigerated.) To cover that, I got a powerful solar panel, an Anker battery, and a dedicated fridge to keep things running as long as possible.

The main concern I have now is: what if the ongoing conflicts keep escalating and production drops? How can I stock up on insulin, and where would I store it (a bigger fridge, I suppose)? Anyway, you get the idea.

Is anybody dealing with — or has dealt with — the same situation, or a similar diagnosis in general?

Thanks!

Hey all — solo dev here. I kept losing track of what I had in my pantry and kits, when things expired, and how long my supplies would actually last. Nothing I tried quite fit (too generic, too much cloud nonsense, or a paywall for basics), so I built my own.

It's called PPantry. Local-first (data lives on the device, works offline, no account required), scans barcodes, tracks expirations, handles kits like a 72-hour bag or a first-aid tin, and gives you a rough "how many days does this last?" estimate.

Free forever. No tiers, no feature gating. I shipped it this week.

Not trying to sell anything — I just figured some of you might get use out of it, and honestly I'd really value feedback from people who actually prep. What's missing? What's annoying?

Tear it apart.
