I built a home app with AI to track meals and carbs for me and my wife

Since April he has logged meals and counted carbs in Google Sheets, and helps his wife do the same. He spent an AI session building a home app to make the logging simpler, shorter and more fun.

How it works

  1. Logs meals and counts carbs in Google Sheets since April
  2. Spends an AI session building a home app
  3. The app is meant to make logging simpler and shorter

Why it’s worth knowing

He turned a spreadsheet habit he and his wife had kept since April into their own home app in one session.
