Enterprise dev of 10+ years, never built a mobile app before - here’s one inspired by my wife, now on the App Store

Hey folks -

I’ve been a software developer for a little over ten years, all of it in enterprise. I’d never done any mobile development, so I wanted to try taking an idea from the very beginning all the way to a finished app, just to see the whole thing through.

The idea came from something my wife and I already do. Whenever we go out to eat, we turn the decision into a little game - one of us picks three places, and the other picks one of those three. I figured I’d try to codify that into an app with the help of Claude Code.

That’s Fork. You nominate three restaurants, send a link to whoever you’re eating with, and they pick one. The MVP is live on the App Store now.

Landing page: https://gabe-fernandez-052.github.io/fork-site/

I’d really like some honest feedback on it - the idea, the app itself, whatever stands out!

Need Help with Ballast Plumbing

Hey all,

​I recently bought a 2005 Nautique SV211 and swapped the factory ballast tanks for bags. Based on my setup, I'm using a 'Y' fitting to share the fill port with a vent line.

​The problem is that once the bags hit about 3/4 full, the water immediately ejects through the vent line. I assume I need to create a vented loop or add head pressure to the vent line to create resistance, but I am not sure of the best way to route it.

​Any advice on how to fix this?

​FYI: I have 750 lbs in each locker (a combination of bags and steel shot).
