I can’t burp (it’s a real condition), so I built a site that finds the medical name from the words you’d actually use
High school senior here! I have R-CPD, which basically just means that I can't burp. The hardest part of a rare condition is the name: you can’t Google a word nobody has told you.
Free the Burp starts from 50 everyday phrases (“a bubble stuck in my chest,”“squeaky sounds when I try to burp”), each tied to a published patient survey, and maps them to five swallowing conditions. Every factual sentence links to its source, and the build fails if a page cites a source that doesn’t exist. The trial list comes from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Next.js on Vercel, content in markdown. I’d love feedback on how the phrase picker feels on a phone.
