Diet & Socialization PWA Development
Budget: ₹37,500 – ₹75,000 INR
MVP Overview Document (PWA Version)
Project Name (Working Title): FitNet
Founder Note:
I'm building an MVP to solve two real-world problems:
1. Most people struggle to stick to their diet plans given by their nutritionist - it's hard to track meals,
calories, and progress daily.
2. It's awkward to connect with fellow gym members, especially strangers you see daily but don't
know how to approach.
This MVP solves both through a mobile-friendly Progressive Web App (PWA) that users can access
like an app on their phone, but we can build and launch it much faster than a full mobile app.
Platform: Progressive Web App (PWA)
- Mobile-first responsive web app (PWA) - installable on phones like an app
- Built using web technologies (React, Bubble, or any dev-chosen stack)
- Compatible across Android and iOS browsers
- Can be launched instantly without app stores
MVP Core Features
Feature 1: AI-Based Diet Tracking
Goal: Help users stick to their nutritionist's diet using a structured, image-based daily tracking
system.
Flow:
1. User uploads their diet chart (image or fills a form)
2. App creates a personalized daily meal checklist
3. For each meal, user uploads a photo of the food
4. AI processes the image to estimate calories and macros
5. Progress tracker shows planned vs actual calorie intake
6. If users miss a meal or photo upload, they get a reminder via WhatsApp or in-app notification
7. The app encourages motivation through streaks, badges, and social sharing options
Feature 2: Social Layer for Gym Members
Goal: Help gym members connect with each other like a social media app made just for their gym.
Flow:
1. User joins their commercial gym's community inside the app
2. They can post photos, workout updates, or progress (like Instagram for gym-goers)
3. View and engage with others in the same gym (like/follow/comment/chat)
4. Optionally allow swipe/match features for socializing or accountability partners
5. Each profile includes:
- Name & photo
- Gym name & location
- Fitness goal (fat loss, muscle gain, etc.)
- Intent: friend, coach, partner, etc.
Tech Features / Stack Suggestions
Feature | Stack/Tools
-----------------------|-------------------------------
PWA App | React.js, Next.js, Bubble.io, or Glide Pages
Image Upload | Firebase / Cloudinary / AWS S3
AI Food Recognition | Calorie Mama API / Google Vision / Replicate
Backend | Firebase, Supabase, or Airtable
Automation & Notifs | Make.com + Twilio (WhatsApp)
Social Feed + Chat | Firebase Realtime DB or custom chat
Suggested MVP Development Roadmap
Week | Task
------|-------------------------------
1 | Build diet chart upload + user onboarding
2 | Meal photo uploads + AI calorie detection
3 | Add reminders (WhatsApp/push) + progress dashboard
4 | Build social feed, gym-based community system
5 | Polish, test, and deploy PWA to custom domain with install prompt
Final Notes for Developer
- This is a PWA, not a native app - must be mobile-first and installable.
- Prioritize simple UI and smooth image handling.
- AI image processing is core to the MVP, so we'll need smooth integration with Calorie APIs.
- We're open to using Bubble, Glide Pages, or React, depending on dev expertise and timeline.
