The idea in one paragraph

Busy parents pay $9-$19/month for one less decision. Build an app where they set dietary preferences, kid ages, and budget — get a 7-day plan with recipes and a grocery list. Sticky retention, low churn.

Step-by-step playbook

  1. 1

    Niche down

    E.g., 'gluten-free family of 4'. Generic = no traction.

  2. 2

    Build v1 in 5 days

    Lovable + OpenAI + Stripe. One main screen.

  3. 3

    Grow via parenting subreddits

    r/Parenting, r/MealPrepSunday. Share genuine value posts.

  4. 4

    Add a referral discount

    Parents tell other parents — bake that loop in.
