We really need this as my partner hates the idea of a regular meal plan, but then struggles every week to decide on a plan.

So I threw one together myself, but never quite finished it off, so very keen to use yours!

But the setup for this is overwhelming, so many forms. And then the meal plan is taking ages to generate.

I'd have bounced long ago if I was a normal person.

So it finally finished and I mentioned we regularly have a roast on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday and it decided to suggest a roast on Sunday and Tuesday.

Also image loading is very slow.

Think it's a great idea, generally looks pretty good, etc, just definitely look at the setup. I do think it pretty bloody slow though, and I'd love to switch meals, on mine you could just swipe left or right on a meal, it had actually generated 10 auggestions per day that you could rotate through to sorts customize it yourself. I didn't use AI on the fly though, I just had AI generated 1,000s of options up front and then randomized it.

Ah, I hear you on the onboarding wizard. I did my best to keep it streamlined but understand it's still overwhelming. Hard to balance keeping it light with collecting enough data to provide reasonable recommendations.

The meal plan generation does take a bit, _typically_ it's around 90ish seconds but it does vary a lot. That's odd the images are loading slowly, I'll need to look into that.

You can ask for meal replacements (with or without input instructions) from the meal plan view. The replacements are not particularly snappy though. Trying to balance efficient usage of AI with a snappy UX is tricky.

I'm in the UK, if you're hosting US that's probably part of it, it's easy to forget that mainstream websites have a ton of CDN.

But yeah, they were gradual rendering over 1-2 seconds.

I was on mobile, not sure if you've used responsive image sizing or not as it's a faff to inspect source, but if you haven't it's a game changer for making image heavy websites snappy.

Then again, depends where you're getting the images from, could just be you were getting throttled because you got a bit of a HN hug of death.

		Yeah that tracks. I'm currently only hosting out of us-central1 in GCP. Haven't got around to setting up multi-region or a proper CDN yet.
