I built ForkBrain because I waste an embarrassing amount of time deciding where to eat. You probably do too. You open the maps app, scroll through 200 places, read a few reviews, get overwhelmed, and somehow end up eating cereal at home. So I made an app that just decides for you. You answer 12 dumb questions, it reads your mood, and it tells you exactly where to go. One place. No endless scrolling, no comparing four taco spots, no decision paralysis. Just an answer. Hate the pick? You get two re-rolls. After that it cuts you off, because at some point you have to actually eat. It pulls real restaurants near you, it doesn't ask for your email, and it won't try to sell you anything. I just wanted to stop wasting 30 minutes every night on the same stupid decision. Answer the questions. Go eat. Stop going back and fork. — Blake
