I built an app to solve my wife’s "Decision Fatigue" (and just hit a major milestone) 🍳

The Backstory Every evening at our house used to start with the same stressful question: "What are we eating tonight?" My wife is a great cook, but she was hitting a wall. Looking at a fridge with random ingredients and trying to mentally assemble a meal was causing serious decision fatigue. I realized I could use my dev skills to build her a "Creative Sous-Chef."

What is AiCook? AiCook is a minimalist tool that turns a list of random ingredients into a chef-quality recipe in seconds. No ads, no 2,000-word blog backstories—just the food.

The "Aha!" Moment Initially, it was just a simple generator. But after watching her use it, I realized she wanted to keep the winners. So, I just pushed a massive update that shifts AiCook from a one-off tool to a personal digital cookbook.

What’s under the hood?

• The Brain: Powered by [Gemini/OpenAI] to handle complex ingredient logic.

• The Memory: I implemented a saving/sharing system so users can build a library of their favorite AI wins.

• The Philosophy: Clean UI. I hate how bloated recipe sites have become. AiCook is designed to be used with one hand while holding a spatula.

Why I’m sharing this here I’m an indie dev trying to build something that actually solves a daily human friction point. I’m not looking to "disrupt an industry"—I just want to make Tuesday nights a little easier for people like my wife.
