What it does

Created for people with busy lives, wanting to cook more and waste fewer ingredients. Effortless cooking, personalized meal planning, and sustainable living all in one app.

Bean is your personal kitchen assistant, helping you discover and cook amazing meals.

Bean checks your pantry, suggests recipes, builds AI meal plans, and auto-generates the shopping list - so Sunday meal prep takes 10 minutes, not two hours. Wondering what to cook all week—and scrambling for recipes at 8 PM. Multiple store trips because the list never matches what's in your pantry. After work's done, cooking feels like a race against the clock. Online recipes are great, but it's hard to find new ones when you're in a rut. Get started in minutes and let Bean handle the rest Bean is purpose-built for family needs — from workdays to weeknights. Auto-generated list for your family, synced so anyone can shop. Most planners focus on macros. Bean focuses on real weeknight chaos.…from beantheapp.com

  • Lovable▲1,477

    Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
