Who it's for

Solo builder or 2-person team targeting African diaspora, expat communities, and growing middle-class home cooks in Nigeria and West Africa who cook regularly but struggle to organize recipes and meal prep

How to build it

1. Build a simple web app where users sign up and clip recipes via URL paste, manual entry, or browser extension — store them in a personal library with tags and notes 2. Add a weekly meal planner UI: drag recipes into calendar days, auto-generate a shopping list by ingredient 3. Launch with Freemium (free: up to 50 recipes + basic planner; paid: unlimited + recipe scaling, dietary filters, family sharing) 4. Start in Nigeria via WhatsApp, Facebook groups, and Nigerian food/cooking communities; charge USD 2–4/month via Stripe or local payment gateway (Flutterwave, Paystack) 5. Expand to meal prep templates, nutrition labels, and affiliate links to Nigerian/international grocery sites for revenue layering

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian and diaspora cooks are underserved by English-language, Nigerian-payment-friendly recipe tools; low CAC via community-first growth in WhatsApp/Facebook; local payment integration is 10x faster than building in saturated Western markets; USD revenue at scale with <$5k hosting cost.
