Every time I travel (or even go to a fancy restaurant at home), I stare at menus like they’re cryptic puzzles. No pictures, lots of foodie jargon I don’t get… and I usually just guess and hope for the best .
So for the past year, I’ve been hacking away at my first big project: FoodieLens
It’s a web app where you just snap a photo of the menu, and it will:
Show you real images of the dishes
Translate foreign menus
Generate AI images if the original dish photos are hard to find
Link each dish to a quick Google search for context
Save menus for later
I wanted it to be super simple: no credit card needed, just free credits to start.
Would love feedback from you all — especially:
Does this solve a real pain point you’ve had?
What’s the #1 feature you’d want added before you’d actually use it?

Why would someone login to even see what it's about? Hard pass.
