It?s an app called Foodie, which the pair showed off at the TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2015 hackathon. It shows photos and Yelp reviews of various foods in the area, and users can swipe left and right to save the ones that look good. The goal then is to show how many people in the area also liked what showed up on the app.
There are two goals here, Kim says: to figure out what people like to help better make a decision as to where to eat and to figure out what foods and restaurants are hot at the moment.
This isn?t the only app going after something similar, with others like Nibbly on the App Store. But the hook, Kim says, is figuring out what everyone likes right now and using that to help figure out where to go get lunch.
