    Hi HN, Happy to share the project I've been vibe-coding on for past few months. The Problem: Like many people, I often found myself staring at a fridge full of random ingredients (some about to expire) with no idea what to cook. I was tired of food waste and the repetitive cycle of making the same few meals. I wanted a way to creatively use what I already had. The Solution: So, I decided to build Chefiniti. It's an iOS app that acts as a personal AI chef. The core idea is to turn your available food into delicious, custom recipes. I know there are already tons of apps like it but this one is…

    Souva▲8

    Hi HN, I'm a solo student dev. Souva started with a problem my mom and I always ran into: we'd open a full fridge and have no idea what to make, then open a full pantry and still have no idea what to make. Most recipe apps expect you to find a recipe and go out and get everything, but we didn't have the time or the space for niche ingredients we'd only ever use once. Souva works with what you already have. You enter what you have by snapping a photo of your fridge, scanning a barcode, or typing it in, and the app finds recipes you can actually make right now. If you're like me and always…

    Hi all, I’m a parent and meal planning for my kids always felt overwhelming. I built a web app that would let me create profiles for my children, plan their meals, put their meal preferences, recipes, export the plan to my calendar, and share links to the timetable with others, and of course an AI helping with the plan and recipe . For now it has a free plan and also paid plan with more functionalities. I hoped it would be helpful for other parents. So i shared it with some family and friends. I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks

    It’s not just your average recipe site – they’ve got an AI-powered feature that generates custom dessert recipes based on your preferences or available ingredients! If you’re short on time or ingredients, the site lets you tweak recipes on the fly. You can adjust ingredients to suit your pantry, dietary preferences, or time constraints, and the AI will instantly generate a new dessert idea for you. Super handy for those moments when you have a sweet tooth but not everything in your kitchen! For example, I tried out a brownie recipe and swapped out sugar for honey – worked like a charm! The…

    I built a recipe manager that automatically shows nutrition info for any recipe. Import from websites or photos, create healthier versions, and keep everything organized across devices. The trickiest part was handling unit conversions accurately—turns out 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of sugar have very different weights! 100% free, available on web and iOS. Looking for feedback!
