Thanks! Your app looks great too.

Looks like we were both inspired by the same desire to make meal planning easier at home.

Hope your app is a success!

Thanks! That's a great idea; adding the ingredients to a shopping cart would definitely make it more helpful to users. Thanks for your feedback, I'll look into this feature.

Hi HN,

PlatePickers started as a tool I was building for my wife, because planning meals for the week was her least favorite thing to do.

At its core, the service it provides is very simple:

- You can choose the number of days to generate a meal plan for - The algorithm will then select the required amount of random meals - You can then swap out any you don't fancy - Once you're happy with the meal plan email it to your inbox - You'll receive an email with links to each recipe and a list of ingredients to go shopping for

After seeing how helpful she found it and discussing with others, I realised that this could be helpful for other people too.

Please check it out!
