Project Description

YOU MAY BE THINKING: WTF?

We've all been there. It's the end of the week, you're low on groceries, and you've got 8 Tupperware containers of half-eaten leftovers that you're avoiding. So you ask yourself, "What's in The Fridge?"

    You've come to the right place. In this app, you'll find tried and true recipes on how to take your blah leftovers and random items from your pantry and transform them into a creative and delicious meal. So don't throw out those Tupperware containers just yet; download the What's (in) The Fridge app and see what you can create!

 

 

YOU ALSO MAY BE THINKING: WHO TF CAME UP WITH THIS?

Hi, that would be me. My name is Camille Johnson and I am a mom of two, an entrepreneur, and a food lover.

    When I got pregnant with my first son, the only cure I could find for my morning sickness was watching the Food Network. So, being unemployed, broke, and having weird cravings, I got inspired to start cooking. Basically I had nothing better to do.

    We had an EXTREMELY tight grocery budget each week and could not afford to throw out ANY food whatsoever. So after watching a few episodes of Chopped and refusing to go hungry, I started transforming what little ingredients, leftovers, and pantry items I had to work with into delicious home-cooked meals for me and my husband.

    Fast forward two years and another pregnancy unemployed (thanks COVID), I still have that knack for coming up with crazy, outside-the-box recipes using random sh*t I find in my fridge. So I figured, why not share these ideas with other people? It helps save money, eliminates food waste, and brings the fun back to cooking (although the cleaning, not so much). I remember looking into my fridge one day and thinking, "I don't know what to make with this stuff...I wish there was an app for that."

    Hence, the idea of W.T.F. was born.

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS: THE DETAILS

Believe it or not, building an app is not easy or cheap. Luckily, I've designed the wireframes and built a working prototype over the past year, and have a team of app developers on standby - ready to go when the funding is complete.

 

$8,000 is the minimum amount we would need to get a physical application made for you all. Raising even more capital would mean a better looking and better functioning app with less bugs for you all, the users. So let's make it happen!

 

In an effort to keep the W.T.F. app free of annoying ads and pesky pop ups, it will be a paid app. For convenience sake, we will do a 14 day free trial, then $0.99/mo or a $10 annual subscription. Cancel or renew at any time! 

 

The W.T.F app should only take three months to create, test, and launch to the public. If you would like to be a part of the testing process and help us form a better app, see our reward tiers under the "Rewards" tab!

 

RISKS AND CHALLENGES

The biggest risk we face is having an extended timeline for project completion. Obviously, the more changes we make in the testing phase, the longer the final launch will take.

 

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

In the future, I would like to expand this app to Android devices as well. I would also like to add a video tab with recipe how-to's, virtual cooking lessons, etc.

 

Thank you all again for your continued support!

 

The Campaign FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • So the money raised is just to build the app?
    • Correct! Apps are incredibly expensive to not only build but to continue to service as well. The money raised by this campaign will go towards the programming of the app
  • Will the app be free?
    • Unfortunately no. Like I mentioned before, apps are expensive to build but also expensive to maintain. There is a lot of back end work that needs to happen in order to have a beautiful and functional app. The money made from subscribers will go towards the servicing of the app
