Nutritot
What it is
An app that makes weekly meal plans for small kids, built around South Indian food, with a shopping list.
Why I built it
Planning healthy meals for a small kid every day is hard. And most meal apps are built around food we don't eat at home.
What happened
I wrote a proper plan and built a first version with a weekly planner and nutrition tracking. Before the plan, I wrote evals: simple tests for what a good meal suggestion looks like. Then I stopped and moved on.
What I learned
Learned evals early. With AI you have to decide what good looks like before you build. Otherwise you can't tell if it works.
