🚀 After learning Swift over the past year & with help from vibe coding, it's time to put myself to the test! Going to build my first app in public.

Inspired by @raroque, @SherryYanJiang, and @starter_story - this approach creates accountability and builds community from day 1!

Does anyone know of an open-source grocery item dataset with categories (dairy, produce, meat, etc.)? Looking for a comprehensive list for a project I’m working on. Trying to have the app know how to categorize common grocery items

Not gonna lie, Iv kinda shot from the hip when it comes to designing screen layouts. This is the first one where I actually took the time to think it out and draw it out by hand first. It makes a difference.

[Andrew Smith @AndrewCSmith91]

@raroque Iv been testing this too and it’s great

After watching @raroque latest video about app mascots, I gave it a try myself. Meet Chef, Meal Mates mascot. Not 100% on if I will use in the app, but a fun exercise and cool to think about. Fun fact: the Monopoly Man was the starting point.

@raroque video idea: how to differentiate between paid features vs. free features in the code base for an app.
