Working Saturday.
Day job done, switched straight to weekly meal plan app research.
Been figuring out how to pull real grocery store prices into the app. Legally, of course 😅
Found a price comparison site that gave me the idea I needed. Spent a few hours going down that rabbit hole, and somewhere in the middle of it all something clicked.
This is actually going to work.
The design is mostly there. Now comes the real challenge. Connecting store data, building a daily price scraper, and an algorithm that turns all of it into a weekly meal plan based on your budget and how many people you're feeding.
Still have a day job. Still building on Saturdays. Still excited about where this is going.

August recap. Last day of the month.
Started with a Fortnite account and zero idea how X actually works.
Ended with 1K followers, real conversations, and two products in the making.
The thing that moved the needle most was not the posts. It was the replies. Showing up in other people's conversations every day. Giving honest takes, sharing what I know, asking real questions.
That was it. No hack. No viral moment. Just showing up consistently.
The hardest part was building the habit before it felt worth it. The first week you reply into the void and nothing happens. Then slowly it starts working and you can't stop.
Merak is coming along. Next big step is connecting real grocery store data into the app. And on the side I started building a Chrome extension to help builders grow on X.
Two products. One month. Still have a day job.
September is going to be different.
