NomNak helps you find restaurants through people you trust. See where your friends actually eat, save spots to try, and build a Food Passport of everywhere you’ve been.
I’ve lived in a few states over the years, and whenever friends visit those states they always ask where they should eat.
That got me thinking… if you're headed to San Francisco and have friends that live there, they probably know the good spots better than a random review.
So I built NomNak to help people find restaurants through people they trust, save spots to try, and build their food passport.
Fun fact: My wife likes to make up words. When food is really good she calls it a “nommy nack” (basically a yummy snack). I shortened it to NomNak so people could actually spell it :)
The app is a passion project and completely free to use. If you try it and enjoy it, sharing it with your foodie friends and giving NomNak a follow would mean a lot ❤️
Cool 😎 is it possible to find restaurants in all locations or only limited to San Francisco? 🤔
positioning of seeing where friends actually eat versus where they recommend is an interesting distinction. recommendations require effort and create social pressure to only suggest places you're confident about. passive check-ins or logs require less commitment and might give a more honest picture of someone's actual eating habits. which one is the core mechanic, active recommendations from friends or passive tracking of where they go, because those create very different social dynamics on the app
Interesting one! The visiting-a-new-city case is both the strongest pitch here and also the hardest to actually pull off? The whole thing leans on a trust graph but the moment people need it most (landing somewhere I dont live) is exactly where I'd have the fewest friends on the map
Restaurant recs from friends are usually way better than scrolling through random reviews. The Food Passport idea also gives it a nice personal history layer, not just another saved places list.
It's true. Google maps is truely just mid...
Android or webpage would be great for NomNak
it's free and no ads? Love a good passion project, will definitely share this around with my foodie group chats.
