Hi everyone,

I know it is a pretty saturated space, but I have been looking into making a meal planning app.

So realistically I actually cook two or three nights and the rest of the nights I would eat or go out. The app plans the whole week off that. Each cooking night you make two things at once, say a tray of chicken and a pot of beans, so the week can alternate and you're not eating chicken three days running. Every other night is assembly, five minutes, one pan.

This is what I am assuming:
* Realistically it is difficult to cook seven days in a row for every meal. That's why meal planning and prepping is a thing and why plans die by Wednesday
• Cooked food is only good for three to four days, so two cooking sessions is the minimum that covers a week safely
• Shopping lists should be in real package sizes. One bunch of cilantro, not two ounces of it.

Let me know if you what you think. You can be roast me lol

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask for some advice on this idea I had and not going to sell anything. Basically I want your feedback before I waste time making this and see if anyone would also use it.

I posted here about wanting one answer, go or stay home, instead of ten tabs of charts. You told me a buoy alone cannot make that call. Correct, and I had missed the obvious one: tide. A high tide flattens a spot the buoy says is pumping.

Someone put the order as conditions, then break, then decision. That is the app now. It reads the buoy, the tide, the wind, and whether that swell direction actually works at your break. One plain line, no color rating. Tap it and every number is explained in normal English, so eventually you do not need it.

Two more things from the comments. You set the size you are comfortable in, and when it is over your head the call says that instead of go. And it keeps score at your break, including the days it was wrong.

Never doing cams, and never doing crowd sourced reports. One of you pointed out people would lie to keep others off their spot. You were right about that too.

buoytruth.com if you want it to exist.

For anyone driving 30 or more minutes: how many sessions would it have to get right before you trusted it over checking everything yourself?

last month I got up at 6 and drove 40 minutes because the app said 3ft and fair. it was a lake. week after that it said 1ft poor so I stayed home, and my buddy went anyway and texted me it was his best morning of the summer. burned both ways by the same app.

then it finally clicked why this keeps happening. the forecast is a computer guessing days ahead. but theres a buoy floating out there getting hit by the actual waves right now. one is a prediction, the other is the ocean telling you what its doing.

so im making a dead simple phone app. it shows what the buoy is reading next to what the forecast claims and gives you one answer, go or stay home. thats the whole app, nothing else.

and before anyone says just use surfline, that IS the app that burned me lol. those star ratings are graded for good surfers, a "poor" day for them is a perfect learning day for us. plus its like 120 a year for cams and charts I barely understand. I dont want 10 tabs of graphs, I want the robot in the water and a yes or no.

not selling anything, its not even built yet. theres a free waitlist at buoytruth.com if you want it to exist. but real question, has the forecast ever burned you like that? what did it say vs what you actually paddled into?

Every climber I know has the same story: fingers felt fine, then one bad pocket or one crimpy session too many and you're out for months. The pattern is always obvious in hindsight.

So I'm building a simple tracker. 30 seconds after each session you log grades, grip types, how the fingers felt. It adds up your finger load across the week and gives one morning call: push, easy, or rest.

Rough prototype at fingerguard.app . For anyone who's had a finger injury, was there a warning sign you only recognized after?

Most houseplants die from wrong light, not wrong watering, but nobody can tell what "bright indirect" means. lightfit reads the actual light in a spot and gives each of your plants a plain verdict: thrive here or sulk here.

Landing page with mockup at lightfit.app . Looking for plant people to tell me if the concept is wrong before I build it. Brutal takes welcome.

My whole problem is watering. I either drown them or forget, no in between. Some of my plants look thirsty, but the soil's still wet underneath. How do you know when to do it?

Took me killing like 6 pothos(supposedly the "easy" house plant 🙃) before anything stuck. For those of you who were serial plant killers like me before lmao, what changed for you? I still feel like i'm guessing every time i water.

Waves were actually decent this morning but the lineup was so packed it wasn't worth paddling out. How often does this happen to you? Do you check anything beforehand to dodge it, or is it just part of it now? Curious if people have an actual system or if everyone just accepts their fate lol

Trying to figure out if I'm wasting my mornings. Last weekend I drove about 40 mins to a lineup that was a zoo. I caught maybe 3 waves and then drove home annoyed af. How is it for you guys when you can already tell a spot will be crowded. Do you send it anyway, switch to a backup spot, or just bail? And how do you call it before you leave: cam, forecast, or gut?

I've been running for years, and here's what's always frustrated me: you run faster when someone's actually racing you. When I'm alone, I'm fine with 11:00 minute miles. When I'm in a race, suddenly I'm doing 9:30s without even thinking about it. That gap is huge.

The problem is, I can't just grab running friends whenever I want. Organizing a group run takes planning. And most running apps are just... logging tools. They don't give you that feeling of actual competition.

So I built RunTogether: Live Virtual Runs. It's stupidly simple: open the app, join a live race with 4-8 other runners, and go. Your avatar moves on screen as you run.

Faster pace = faster avatar. You see everyone else in real-time. That's it.

This is my first real app, so I'm throwing it out here.

If you actually try it, cool. If it sucks, tell me. I'm genuinely curious what people think. Thanks in advance!
