Inspiration
Roughly a third of all food produced is wasted, much of it at home — groceries die forgotten in the fridge.
What it does
FridgeGhost is a local-first web app that stops groceries dying forgotten in the fridge. Add groceries manually or by barcode lookup via the free Open Food Facts API. "Hauntings" surface items expiring soon, today, or already past, most urgent first. Recipe suggestions are built from expiring ingredients via the free TheMealDB API, and the shopping list adds exactly the ingredients a recipe needs that you don't already have.
How we built it
Node.js + TypeScript, vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, zero runtime dependencies. It also runs with no server at all on GitHub Pages.
Privacy
No account, no cloud, no tracking — data stays on the user's machine except the two public lookups.
