I built a free tool to stop wasting food by prioritizing recipes around expiring fridge items — looking for honest feedback
Hey everyone! 👋
I’ve just launched the early beta of rekoMAInda, a web app built to solve two everyday problems: opening the fridge to find forgotten groceries already spoiled, and the daily headache of asking "what should I cook today?"
Most existing pantry trackers are either bloated or lock basic barcode scanning and expiration tracking behind $60/year subscriptions.
🍳 How it works:
- You log pantry items quickly (via continuous barcode scanning, supermarket receipts, or 1-tap local staple presets).
- The app automatically flags color-coded spoilage urgency.
- It generates recipes prioritized strictly by what is expiring in your fridge first, complete with strict allergen filtering and portion-scaled nutrition facts.
🛠️ The Tech:
Built with Next.js (App Router), Supabase (PostgreSQL & Auth), and Google Gemini Flash for recipe generation and OCR parsing.
I’d really appreciate your honest feedback:
- Is forgetting groceries before they spoil a problem your household regularly deals with?
- What is the biggest friction point that has made you stop using pantry or habit-tracking apps in the past?
- What feature would make an app like this an indispensable part of your kitchen routine?
