Hi there! I built foodkarma.org to connect people looking for food with people nearby who have something to spare. You can browse free or priced offers, or post exactly what you need - something you’d otherwise buy in a supermarket. People can negotiate and arrange pickup directly through chat. A few things I’ve focused on: Offers and requests: matching what people have with what others actually need. Privacy: communicate through the platform without publicly displaying your exact address. Less effort to post: AI photo recognition and barcode lookup help fill in product details, which you can review and edit. Trust: mutual ratings after completed exchanges. International access: multiple languages and currencies, designed for local use across countries. The aim is to make spare food useful to someone else - with potential savings as a practical reason to participate. I’m trying to find out whether this would fit into people’s everyday lives: Would saving money motivate you to pick up food nearby? If you had food to spare, would you post it? What would make that worth the effort? What’s the biggest obstacle: trust, food quality, coordinating pickup, too few nearby listings - or something else? Does an existing app or neighborhood group already solve this for you? Honest reasons you wouldn’t use it are just as helpful as reasons you would Have a look: https://foodkarma.org   submitted by   /u/sevenflip1337 [link]   [comments]
