I've worked on ambitious, technically-challenging, world-changing ideas for the past 6 years, and I'm tired of it. They are intellectually rewarding but too often spiritually draining, being at the intersection of massive effort and a high chance of failure.

So, I've teamed up with an incredible developer/founder friend and we have a goal - build something both fun and deliverable! Fun to work on, fun to think about, and especially fun for the user. Something that solves my real-world problem, and absolutely does not involve "the enterprise" or any groundbreaking technology.

Dish is an app that makes it lightning fast to find "The best X" in your area, where X is a specific type of food - Pho, Wings, Tacos, etc. We're taking what Yelp is horrible at and fixing it (just try and find the best traditional asian food on Yelp... it's impossible). And we're making the interface as fun, fluid, and modern as possible.

The way I like to think of it is:

Yelp : Facebook :: Dish : Snapchat

Have you read Paul Grahams latest essay[0]? Yelp is a sleepy old giant, everyones' favorite app to vent about. By changing the review system to be instant just like taking a photo + to focus just on the dish, we'll modernize it, and I think the timing is just right.

Dish is perfect for social media + delivery services - it's 10x faster to find food for delivery, and reviewing a dish is literally just taking a picture (w/some ML classification), which you can share to Instagram/Facebook in a tap.

It's the foodie app you always wanted to build yourself. And now you can! Right now we have the perfect initial two people to bootstrap it (one super experienced product dev/design, one super experienced product/devops/backend), and we'd love to find just one more - a co-founder, developer type.

Just email me, address in profile.
