This is a submission for the World's Largest Hackathon Writing Challenge: After the Hack.
It started with a simple idea — “I need a recipe app that doesn’t live in 47 open tabs and random notes.”
Now, here I am post-hackathon with something way bigger than I imagined.
What’s Next?
I’ve got two exciting (and slightly chaotic) plans for MyMealMind:
-
The All-In Service Plan
- Continue evolving MyMealMind into a full-blown platform.
- Add more community features, pro perks, gamification, and SEO-ready tools.
- Turn it into a go-to hub for food lovers, chefs, and kitchen pros.
-
The Open Source Template Plan
- Polish the code and docs.
- Launch MyMealMind as a reusable template for anyone who wants to build their own recipe-powered platform.
- Think of it as a digital starter pack for food-tech projects.
And who knows — maybe I’ll end up doing both. (Because sleep is overrated, right?)
What I Learned
- Building fast doesn’t mean skipping quality — just means you lean on the right tools (Bolt, you legend).
- Supabase + RevenueCat = chef’s kiss for scaling with auth, payments, and gated content.
- Design + Dev = magic when you stop fighting with yourself over button colors at 2 AM.
Post-Hack Power-Ups
- Sharpened my frontend skills
- Got hands-on with Stripe + RevenueCat integration logic
- Built real features that scale (and didn’t crash... much)
- Joined the world’s coolest dev challenge (shoutout Bolt.new!)
Final Thought
The hackathon might be over, but I’m just getting started. Whether MyMealMind becomes a viral app, a dev boilerplate, or both — I’m excited. And hungry.
