The App to Celebrate Food

1•ejfhp•1mo ago
I'm building a 'social' app for Android and iOS that's all about food.

It's called Bengodi, like the fantasy place from Boccaccio in the Decameron.

I would like to promote the culture of food, go against the spread of UPF, and help to preserve traditions. I would like to have people to rediscover the pleasure of cooking and the long term advantages of eating well.

The app is at a good stage, it lacks some graphic design because I'm not able to do it, but for now I just would like to see if the concept works. There's a lot of cloud backend that costs me money, but I don't like to have ads, so I think it will be available on stores through some levels of subscription. I don't know yet how much will it costs to keep it running, but I'm planning to ask very little money, just to cover the expenses.

This is the elevator pitch generated with the help of Gemini...

Tired of fast food culture overshadowing great cooking? Our app is on a mission to put food and alimentation back where they belong: center stage! We're a platform where users can share and record their family food culture, helping to preserve priceless food traditions before they're lost. Imagine discovering a hidden gem. We connect you with traditional, local, and uncommon foods right in your area and around the world. But it's more than just a registry. We inspire users to adopt good habits about cooking and eating well-prepared food, making it accessible and exciting. In short, we’re not just an app, we’re building a community that gets people genuinely passionate about food, one dish, one story, and one tradition at a time.

Now I'm searching for some testers (max 10/20). The app is in closed testing on both the Play Store and the App Store, so if someone is interested let me know.

If you're interested you can send a mail to bengodi@googlegroups.com explaining why you would like to test Bengodi.

Thanks!
