Project Notes

The Family App, internally called Family Forecast, started with my frustration over using separate systems for meals, groceries, recipes, chores, and household projects. Each app handled one part, but none of them helped with how those parts overlap.

Meal planning is where I am focusing right now. Planning dinner is not just putting meals on a calendar. It means deciding how many meals we need before the next grocery run, checking what we already have, figuring out what everyone will eat, and turning those decisions into a grocery list.

I want the plan to be useful without making the week rigid. Dinner changes, ingredients get forgotten, and leftovers sometimes become the plan. The goal is to reduce how much the family has to remember while making it easier for everyone to participate.
