A custom platform built to replace a manual, error-prone workflow at a local primary school. Meal orders were previously collected via Google Forms and copied into Excel by hand — slow and unreliable.
As a solo developer, I built a system that handles the full process:
Each child gets a unique code, emailed to parents monthly so they can order meals for the upcoming month
The monthly menu is automatically scraped from the school's catering supplier — no manual input needed
The ordering interface is simple and visual, with clear icons for each meal type (fish, pork, vegetarian, etc.) making it easy for parents to use
Staff can block specific dates like vacation days to prevent orders on those days
Orders are submitted to the catering platform in one click, replacing a slow day-by-day manual process
The system received a lot of positive feedback from parents and noticeably reduced the administrative workload for school staff.

Good work! 🔥 Congrats on launching it. What did you use design the smooth UI/UX?
This wasn’t an ecommerce project.
The goal was simple:
Create a clean experience where listeners could connect with the artist, join the list, and download the music project directly.
Built entirely with Kit.
We designed the page to feel like part of the album itself; minimal, emotional, and immersive.
Simple layout.
Strong storytelling.
Smooth subscriber journey.
Sometimes the best creative work happens when you keep things focused and intentional.
