Hello HN, My girlfriend and I waste too much energy to decide what to eat. Every day, we would text each other, "what do we eat tonight" messages, and go over options and many times spend too much time on deciding. I am an indie dev and created this app to solve my own problem: decide with my girlfriend what to eat for dinner. Initially, I created a simple app, in which we listed all the recipes we ever prepared, and it would propose randomly three of them. We would then choose together one of them. This app[0] turned into a tinder-like app, which would propose every day a set of recipes to…

I recently built an iOS app called Settld: Group Restaurant Finder that helps friends decide where to meet by finding restaurants that are roughly equally far from everyone’s location, and displaying information about them. We’ve all been in chaotic group chats where no one can agree on where to eat — this app cuts through that by calculating a “sweet spot” for the group. For 2 people, it’s the midpoint. For 3 people, it’s the circumcenter. For 4–6 people, it uses a minimum enclosing circle approach (Welzl’s algorithm). It then shows the top 15 nearby options so there’s no more “where do we…

TeamSort▲14Hi HN! Creator here. I built this because I noticed teams often need to quickly prioritize or rank items, but existing tools add too much friction to the process. This uses the Borda count algorithm to aggregate everyone's preferences into a single ranking. While simple voting works for yes/no decisions, sorting captures more nuanced preferences and helps find consensus, whether you're prioritizing feature requests or deciding where to grab lunch. The tool is completely frictionless - no signup required, and polls automatically expire after 24 hours to keep things clean. All data is…
