Instead of doing something boring like going to a restaurant, try something new and go to a strangers house for a meal.
Ideally, people would post a menu, which would be a few options that they could cook (with prices) for the public. The host posts the menu, and everyone that uses the site in the general location could see it and message host for a meal. The users would also be able to review and comment on the host's food/experience.
I don't nearly have all the features though. All I have is the ability to create an account and a menu with a variable amount of entree options and their prices. Users can browse through the menus but nothing is location based right now so the users are viewing every menu created from every location. I also don't have the messaging or reviewing system implemented.
I learned a lot about Ruby/Rails which was my intention, so although the product isn't finished, I view the experience of MHacks. I think I will finish the app later because I like the idea. I could see it working in a hipster city like Seattle or SF, but I don't expect it really to be the next Googe.
