Cool idea. As someone who sees value in having a buffer of food for many reasons, I've signed up and will inventory the stuff in my basement.
I hope you don't mind a few unsolicited thoughts.
Expiration dates wasn't an obvious feature from the website. I was about to ask about it here until I watched the video. Maybe put some screenshots from the app onto the page with a more verbose feature list so it's more easily scannable?
If the app could break down calories by food group or macronutrient it would help keep inventory balanced.
Would you mind emailing me? I may have encountered a bug. [email protected]
Thanks. I'll look into those. I get a few pitches per week from ad agencies but don't know which are legitimate or worth it. It's doing so well that I'm paranoid about touching anything revenue related.
Built a hobby informational web app back in 2005 related to a collectible item I was interested in. It basically tells you if your X is considered common or rare (potentially valuable). Determining that is nuanced and people don't want to figure stuff out on their own, so my web app became popular.
At this point it has earned over $400k USD lifetime with 75% of that being in the last two years. 100% Adsense. The audience who find/use my site are good candidates for high-dollar ads, which is why it has done so well. New data (a few rows in a table) needs to be added once every few months, but it takes < 1hr. Realistically I should invest in blog/content but I don't really find it interesting any more.
Following the "make niche complicated data easily parsable" concept I built another web app in 2018 for a different hobby. For example if the hobby was "phones" and the physical dimensions/specs of "phones" was very important to choosing it, my web app would let you visually compare any two "phones" side-by-side at the correct dimensional scale.
It apparently solved a problem and traffic grew organically. After years of work this web app should get close to 6 figures annually in 2023 - earned via affiliate sales of "phones" and accessories. It's is a much more active endeavor, but if I walked away for 6 months I bet revenue would stay near flat. It fills my time and I find it interesting.
I'm working on web app #3 now which is tangentially related to the "phones" concept.
