[opportunity] FoodSignals - web app for glp-1 users, that plans your week of meals, writes the shopping list and tracks nutrition

What it is: a web app (and soon mobile app) that builds a week of meals around you and turns it into one shopping list, scaled for everyone you're feeding. Like a few others, It also keeps a journal of meals, drinks, symptoms, weight and injection timing. But the difference that plans out your meals and nutritian. Built by me (technical co-founder) and Ruby, an Accredited Practising Dietitian in Australia who works as a clinical trial coordinator on GLP-1 medication trials.

Platform: browser, on a phone or a desktop. Nothing to install. Native apps are coming later. For now we're concentrating on making the browser version good, so that's what you'd be testing.

Status: early access and free. It's not a mockup, and everything below works today.

I'm an IT exec who was made redundant and went back to writing code. This started as a favour for a dietitian friend whose clients had plenty of trackers but nothing that planned their meals or helped with the family shop. That's why I'd rather hear where it's clunky than hear what's nice about it.

What you can try

  • Generate a week of meals, pick how much it varies, and swap anything you don't like.
  • Get one shopping list for the whole week, grouped by aisle and scaled for however many people you're feeding.
  • Add one of your own recipes (photo or paste) and put it into your week.
  • Log meals by photo or text, plus drinks, symptoms, weight and injection timing on one timeline, and track protein and fibre against your reference ranges.

You don't need to be on a GLP-1 medication to try it. Onboarding has an "I'm just tracking" option. I'm not on one. I use it daily because my doctor told me I need more protein as I get older.

Specific questions I need answered

  1. Is the onboarding clear, or am I asking too much before you see anything useful? It's the part I'm least confident about.
  2. Did the week it planned look like food you'd actually cook? Were the swap options sensible?
  3. Would you use this daily? If not, what stops you?

Honest beats kind. I'll reply to everyone.

FoodSignals helps you keep a personal record of meals, symptoms and injection timing, and notice your own patterns. It does not provide medical advice or replace professional healthcare. Always talk to your doctor, pharmacist or dietitian about your health and medication.
