What the Judges are Saying

This is absolutely brilliant! The core idea of an app that connects people with community kitchens and their real-time inventory is truly outstanding and directly tackles a significant need within the community. The practicality and apparent ease of use are fantastic strengths!
The yellow main app page is a wonderful, inviting choice, and aligning the color of the available fridge indicators on the map to yellow as well would be a stroke of genius! This would create an even more intuitive and visually harmonious experience, making those crucial locations pop right out for users. What a thoughtful way to ensure they're instantly noticeable!
Good Luck!
This is a great idea! It's practical, helpful, and could be implemented almost as is. One thing I would add is to make it clear that, to have an accurate inventory of the fridge, users need to take pictures of the contents. It might even benefit from a reward system for fridge pictures and reviews. I would also make the rating system anonymous and possibly remove the sign-in feature, so people don't have to worry about any stigma that might come from using a community fridge. I hope to see this idea implemented in the future!
