I absolutely adore eating, yet when it comes to deciding ‘Where shall we eat next?’, I often find myself swayed by review scores or advertisements. But what I truly wanted to know was the raw, honest opinion of someone who had actually eaten there.
One day, I realised my smartphone was filled with countless photos of meals I'd taken but never shared. ‘What if I could share these photos more casually?’
In that moment, the initial idea for FoodGram was born.
It began as a modest concept: an app where you could intuitively choose places based solely on photos. Yet as development progressed, possibilities expanded far beyond expectations. Linking it to maps made it useful for travel; allowing anonymous posting made sharing more casual; and it could even serve as your personal food album.
We repeatedly redesigned the UI, refined the posting flow, and enlisted help from friends overseas, gradually bringing us closer to creating ‘a place where food from around the world gathers’. Before we knew it, photos from 15 countries had been collected at launch, and FoodGram transformed from my personal app into a ‘food map nurtured by everyone’.
We'd be delighted if FoodGram could help broaden your enjoyment of eating, even just a little.
We'll keep improving it, so please feel free to give it a try!
Congrats on the launch of FoodGram! I love the idea of food discovery through real photos rather than reviews or ads—it feels much more authentic.
I'm curious, how's the response been so far? What kind of marketing strategies are you focusing on to get the word out and expand the app's reach? Would love to hear how things are going!"
Great to see this launch; food discovery via photos and a global map is unique. Many apps rely on ratings or reviews, but your promise seems more visual & immediate. Question: What’s the biggest friction you found in users posting meals (intent vs effort vs hanger-on anonymity), and how did that influence your hero message on the landing page?
