A number of years ago, I got frustrated with trying to keep service for 30 in a regular cutlery organizer. It took up a ton of space in the drawer but pieces kept spilling out of their bins and getting stuck. After many hours of tedious design work, I placed an order for a 3D-printed cutlery organizer that would perfectly stack forks and spoons. It was a huge success - it takes up a fraction of the space and is much easier to use, both when unloading the dishwasher and when setting the table. Now, I'm trying out offering it as a product for sale. If you're interested, you can check out https://cutlery.ninja - even if you're only slightly curious, I'd love to get your feedback.

After a long period of finding entire lunches uneaten at the end of the day, we started asking our kids each day what they want for lunch the next day. While it wasn't the only thing that changed, giving them the choice has definitely had a positive impact on how much food gets wasted and how often kids come home hungry.

This year, I took it a step further by letting the kids "order" their lunches using a visual form on my phone. They absolutely love it!!!

I'm considering building an app to make this easy for other parents to do. If this sounds interesting to you, please consider registering your interest at https://areyouinterested.co/site/Lunchbox-Ninja

I've found involving my kids in choosing what they want packed in their lunches to be really good for reducing waste and improving the chances of them eating at school. They love ordering their lunches using a picture-heavy online form. Using the recently posted[1] AreYouInterested, I'm gauging interest for a tailor-made solution.

Do you use a tool/app/document/etc. to organize the process of validating your idea, estimating market size, confirming product/market fit, etc.? If so, what? How satisfied are you with it?

If not, why not?
