Gut health ledger, not another habit tracker

Log meals, symptoms, sleep, and stress. Get a weekly pattern report in plain language: what flared, what calmed, what to try next. No streaks. No shame.

For People with IBS, bloating, or mystery fatigue

Riff on @T_Zahil — niche beat generic

The problem, sharper

People with IBS, bloating, or mystery fatigue already tried the generic version and bounced. Log meals, symptoms, sleep, and stress. Get a weekly pattern report in plain language: what flared, what calmed, what to try next. No streaks. No shame. The wedge is the constraint, not another feature list.

Features that make the pitch true

01Capture the job in one screen: Log meals, symptoms, sleep, and stress. Get a weekly pattern report in plain language:…
02Audience-aware defaults for people with ibs, bloating, or mystery fatigue.
03Shareable artifact you can send to a teammate in one tap.
04Honest empty states. No fake social proof, no infinite onboarding.
05Export: the user can leave with their data on day one.

This weekend

Friday: landing page, one happy path, seed data.
Saturday: the core loop that makes the pitch true.
Sunday: share link, ugly-but-working export, tell ten people.

Stack

— Next.js + TypeScript
— Local-first persistence, server later

User stories

As people with IBS, bloating, or mystery fatigue, I can describe the job in one sentence and get a usable first result.
As a skeptic, I can try it without creating an account.
As someone who might build this, I can copy a spec and start this weekend.

Paste into Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex

Build a working product called SpoonDraft.

Tagline: Gut health ledger, not another habit tracker — without the usual product theater.

One-liner: Log meals, symptoms, sleep, and stress. Get a weekly pattern report in plain language: what flared, what calmed, what to try next. No streaks. No shame.

Who it is for: People with IBS, bloating, or mystery fatigue

Non-goals: do not build a generic health app. Do not add auth until the core loop works. Do not invent extra personas.

Must-have features:
1. Capture the job in one screen: Log meals, symptoms, sleep, and stress. Get a weekly pattern report in plain language:…
2. Audience-aware defaults for people with ibs, bloating, or mystery fatigue.
3. Shareable artifact you can send to a teammate in one tap.
4. Honest empty states. No fake social proof, no infinite onboarding.
5. Export: the user can leave with their data on day one.

Suggested stack:
- Next.js + TypeScript
- Local-first persistence, server later
- privacy-first local store
- exportable CSV
- no dark-pattern streaks
- onboarding in under 60s

UX:
- Distinctive, editorial, not purple-gradient SaaS
- Works on a phone
- Empty states teach the product
- One primary action per screen

Ship this weekend:
1. A landing page that states the job in one breath
2. The core loop end to end with sample data
3. A shareable output
4. A README that explains what was intentionally left out

Constraints: TypeScript. Keep the first version local-first if a database would slow you down. Name the product SpoonDraft unless you have a clearly better one.
