Guys, I've been away for the last few days. What the hell? Featured application, awesome new features.. I've started using this and I've installed it on a little touch screen in the kitchen and we've all been adding our various foods. Last night I went downstairs to the store and bought all the ingredients for a Lasagne (except the mince, because we had leftover and it was on the list  ;D)

It's simple, but it works well, pretty much exactly as I imagined it to ! Thanks so much skwire!

This is so cool watching it get built.  :up:

With regards colours:

Red - equal to, or less than 2 days - you nailed it. Bare minimum time left needs to stand out so that the app serves its purpose and food is saved.

color=yellow]Yellow[/color] - a bit tricky to pin down. 5 days is seemingly long. But, if you think about it, most items you would only want every 5 days (eg you wouldn't want pasta every day) So, a whole bunch of yellow items living in the main perishable timespan is good, because it gives you choice without having to think too hard for a few nights

Green - I guess condiments, things in jars, eggs, frozen things are fine for this..

Ahhhh!! Frozen! That gives me an idea. What if there was an option to 'hold' at its present status. ie - it would stay green because it had been put in the freezer, like excess mince or bread etc.?

I've been trying to get a very loose idea I had into a tangible form, but at the moment its just an outline.
I was thinking about another feature, but not sure how it would work - the 'Kitty'.
When you live with 2 other people you have to keep the relationships harmonious, so instead of one of us getting angry because they *always* buy the toilet paper, we decided to each put in £5 a week, which any one of us can dip into, to purchase essential houehold stuff.

The main crux of the app is avoiding waste food, but it is under the general umbrella of house sharing, so maybe a few minor features that help people living together would work?

I'd love this app, but I run AVG and it won't let me open it, I can't even add an exception. I know it is a false positive, but I can't override :(

My name should be "Absent Professor". cock up in the registration.

That's what you get when you stay awake all night and open an account at 4am.. a hilarious misspelling that brings your sexuality into question.

 ;D :o That was fast!! You do know its Monday right? You're supposed to be all slow and hiding from Bill Lumbergh .

Misspelling on my name in about ;)

Do we get pie charts for share?

"Wastenot" is such an awesome name, better than 'whats in the fridge'.

I'm so impressed, and grateful !
