Show HN: Company lunch orders were hectic, so I made FoodRun
- kyledreger 11y agoDemo link is in the GitHub README. A small side project that I made to make our company lunch orders less hectic. I tried to keep it simple and straightforward, and I had fun learning some of the subtleties to AWS. Thanks for looking!
- arkokoley 11y agoThis is beautiful. Really love the timed ordering idea.
- emerongi 11y agoThe order should update automatically if someone else adds something. Simple AJAX polling would suffice.
- kyledreger 11y agoAgree. I haven't learned how to do that yet, but polling for non-expired orders is what I want to add next.
- adyus 11y agoIf you'd like to have these problems solved for you, give Meteor.js a try. Almost everything's reactive out of the box. It could be perfect for a small, realtime app like this.
- Zalos 11y agoCool project Kyle! this is a brilliant idea simple and effective :D
- mentos 11y agoI work alone but wish I worked in an office so I could set this up :P I'm thinking about my friend who works at a busy production company that could probably benefit from setting this up for his co-workers but he is not technically inclined. I think it would make sense for you to host this like pastebin/bitly where users can generate their own order urls that you host from your own site?
