NomNak: A social platform for finding restaurant recommendations from trusted friends
By
Matthew Hefferon
The kind of bagel you'd toss to the pigeons.
Summary
Matt created NomNak, a platform that helps people find restaurant recommendations through friends and people they trust rather than random online reviews. Users can save spots to try and build a "Food Passport" of places they've visited. The name comes from his wife's phrase "nommy nack" for delicious food.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledif you're headed to San Francisco and have friends that live there, they probably know the good spots better than a random review.
So I built NomNak to help people find restaurants through people they trust, save spots to try, and build their food passport.
My wife likes to make up words. When food is really good she calls it a 'nommy nack' (basically a yummy snack). I shortened it to NomNak so people could actually spell it.
