LOVE this. Are there any plans to open-source? I'd love to run my own instance.

Also some feedback: the ordering buttons are inexplicably in french despite everything else being in English. Choice of language or defaulting to English would be expected...

Also - multi-select and nullable options. So that I can create options like Taco / Steak / Pasta, and add side options that are relevant only when one of those is selected.

If there's a demand for it to become open-source, why not? But I'll have to improve code quality first. As the presence of french labels indicates it, i18n is not properly implemented for this project.
reply
No, you really don't have to. Partially complete software can have a lot of value too.

Anyone can fork it and quickly add the i18n (or just translate into a different language) for their own purposes. People will likely want to contribute i18n. People may fix or improve things for you.

Of course, it's entirely up to you - but I've appreciated half-complete software countless times before.

Don't fall into this trap, strike while the HN iron is hot, all these people +1'ing will never come back when you're eventually happy the code quality is "improved"

If it's truly that bad you'll benefit from the feedback since it's an internet exposed service, although considering you're a professional freelancer, I'm sure it's fine.

Si c'est open source je peux aider avec les traductions !

And yes, I feel like, working on it before open sourcing it is like cleaning before the cleaner. It's ok if the code is messy and there are bugs, that's why OS exist.

Very cool idea imo congrats

*source ouverte?

There's demand for it, add me to the list who wants this and would use it

I'm definitely interested! My family would love this.

+1 interest!

Any plans to open source?

PLUS, to sweeten the deal. here’s a bunch of tech support!

reply
This is awesome. Perfectly solving a problem, showing off tech, and adorable.

This is lovely,I thought about doing something similar but as a 'Dads taxi' app similar to Uber where my family can request rides. Partly because I sometimes struggle to remember where I supposed to be and when, but also because it might just be fun
reply
I really love the idea of an ecosystem of Apps Powered by Parents (APPs). Please reach out if you ever plan to implement it!
reply
Also helpful if you have teenagers and want to make it easy for them to not drink and drive
reply
Awesome! I like when imagination fills the gaps of technology, maybe because I played on old computers like spectrum, we had few pixels and had to imagine the rest.

The ordering could’ve been “solved” with a WhatsApp message, ( or shouting ? :D ) but that would have been so boring!

This much better life UX !

This app is a reminder of being playful and imaginative in life can bring joy, congrats!

Super cute! Might try it out soon (my partner and I are both working from home most of the time).
reply
I never expected to open this and find something that would put a big grin on my face.

Thank you for giving me some joy.

reply
I love this concept and the execution.
reply
Lovely idea! One Latte for me :)

FYI: The features section of the website doesn't render correctly in dark-mode.
reply
Oh man this would kinda help me a lot right now. (As a struggling home owner living w/mom and dog)
reply
You should add food and prices too. Obviously you don’t need to implement an actual payment system because it’s for fun, but if it kept track of the money, your kid could charge you 0.50 per drink or something.
reply
That's a nice idea ! Will definetly add it soon.

And for the food, one can already add anything, it's just a text field. A friend of mine only has alcoholic drinks and snacks on his menu page.

reply
FYI this is a blank page on Firefox :(

works for me Firefox 145.0.2

This is adorable. Nice work!
reply
The testimonials section is adorable
reply
so it's a point-of-snail sort of system, perfect for taking share in a teeny tiny market, and in the growth-share matrix something of a Cashless Cow?
reply
I like it. Delightful.

The URL is public e.g. for /nick (me)?

reply
Yes, the url is public :)

It's really super cool!

I love it! Such a cute application :D
reply
This is so delightful!

This made me ovulate, and I'm not even a woman.

Slightly disappointed to realize there is not some automated drink machine behind this, as that's more my interest, but cool nonetheless and you handmade drinks are probably better.
