# Overview
I want to build an app called NomNoms. The concept is basically: Yelp, but for individual menu items instead of the restaurant itself.  It will be a way for users to search for, for example, best burgers/tacos/falafels, etc, in their vicinity.

## MVP
As a demo product, the vision will be scaled back significantly.
- A user can register for an account and become an authenticated user
- An authenticated user can rate  and add description for individual food items that they have tried.
  - The rated item will be associated with their account
  - The user will have the option to let their rating/description be private or public
  - The app will likely limit food items to a few categories in its initial implementation (ie, burgers, tacos, pizza, falafels)
  - Users are presented a list of nearby restaurants or they may search for restaurants, and they will associate their food item with that restaurant
- A non-authenticated user can peruse the public reviews and sort by lowest/highest/newest reviews

## Stretch Goals
- Users can save items from the public list that they would like to try
- More categories for food items, perhaps beverage items (cocktails, cappucinos, etc)
- Responsive map, sort by "nearest to me", maybe city-based versions ie nyc.nomnoms

## Tech Stack
- React front-end
- Node/Express back-end
- PostgreSQL database
- Zomato public API will provide the resource of restaurants



## Ramblings and Considerations
- Unfortunately most versions of nomnom.com or omnomnom.com or similar seem to be taken
- Instead of stars or likes, users will give items "noms", and they can "nom-inate" new items
