Spud
Stop wasting food. Cook what you have.
What it does
Most recipe apps start from a recipe and send you shopping. Spud works the other way around, starts from what you already own. Add what's in your fridge, and Spud shows you what you can cook tonight, ranked by how many ingredients you already have. 100% matches first, near-matches show exactly what you're missing. Plan your week by adding matched recipes to each day, and Spud generates a shopping list for only the gaps — so your next grocery run is smaller, cheaper, and nothing gets wasted.
Stop staring into your fridge. Spud turns what you already have into tonight
Spud turns whatever's in your fridge into tonight's dinner and this week's plan. Browse recipes matched to what you already have — or just ask Spud what to cook tonight. On Android? Join the waitlist — we'll let you know when it lands. Scan barcodes or type ingredients. Spud builds your inventory and tracks what's about to expire. Recipes ranked by how many ingredients you already own. 100% matches first, near-matches show what you're missing. Drop meals into your weekly plan. Spud generates a shopping list for only the gaps — nothing more. Track what you have and get nudged before anything expires. Scan a receipt, speak what you picked up, or type it in — free, with no cap on items. Pick a…from hispud.app

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:…

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
