Meal planning – without the mental load
TLDR; I applied the concept of "don't make me think" to the task of selecting meals, and assembling the shopping list for your grocery run. The basic idea for what I wanted is very simple: Rather than making a shopping list, I wanted to create a re-usable 'meal', with a list of ingredients I'd need to add to my shopping list to make that meal. Then, after selecting meals for the week I'd have a quick 'check' step, where I'm prompted to check the cupboard for each ingredient, before it's added to the shopping list (ie: I'll need ground beef to make tacos, but I already HAVE ground beef in the…
In plain words
Meal Planning – Without the Mental Load streamlines weekly grocery shopping by letting users create reusable meals with ingredient lists, then select meals for the week. Before finalizing the shopping list, users check their cupboard for items they already have, avoiding duplicate purchases. The tool reduces decision fatigue and manual list-making, making it particularly useful for college students, newlyweds, and others new to meal planning.

TLDR; I applied the concept of "don't make me think" to the task of selecting meals, and assembling the shopping list for your grocery run. The basic idea for what I wanted is very simple: Rather than making a shopping list, I wanted to create a re-usable 'meal', with a list of ingredients I'd need to add to my shopping list to make that meal. Then, after selecting meals for the week I'd have a quick 'check' step, where I'm prompted to check the cupboard for each ingredient, before it's added to the shopping list (ie: I'll need ground beef to make tacos, but I already HAVE ground beef in the freezer). I originally built this out just for myself, but the result has been such a helpful and stress-free experience that I thought others might appreciate it as well. I think this tool could be well-suited for younger folks that are new to the labour of meal-planning. College students, newlyweds, and families with young children. You can try it out without needing to register or provide any personal information, and I'd love your feedback! https://supperstock.ca/

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
