We use Good Stock every day. When something feels off, we fix it that night. 292 commits and counting.
Everything the world went through the past six years was background noise for us. Amanda got really sick, became disabled, and life was suddenly completely different. She's getting better. We're finally finding peace and building a new kind of life. But one basic thing kept getting in the way: we'd forgotten how to feed ourselves.
We spent so much time and money on food, but we'd still look at each other at 5pm and say "so what are you thinking for dinner" knowing neither of us had the energy to do anything about it. So we'd order takeout, spend $80 on food that made us feel crappy, and let our groceries go bad. Again. We had no idea how something so simple became so impossible.
Then Amanda saw a picture of some vegetables on rice, bought a rice cooker and air fryer, and figured they would gather dust like every other miracle appliance. But this time it worked. She started making rice bowls and realized that a handful of base recipes you can rotate and riff on made the whole thing feel manageable. Like a capsule wardrobe, but for food. A few good foundations, not a hundred options.
That system worked. So we built an app to keep our kitchen as organized as our new system. A friend saw it and wanted to try it. So here we are.
Launching soon. No spam. Just one email when it's time.
In real life, Pippa owns everything that touches the ground and dares you to test her, is only quiet when she's secretly eating an entire milkshake, loves humans, hates all other creatures, and always has time for a Pippapants dance.
In the app, she's our AI assistant. She plans your meals, warns you when food is about to expire, suggests recipes based on what you actually have, and occasionally judges your choices. She is helpful and she is chaos and she does not see a contradiction.
