Non-technical founder building FreshPlate — a meal-planning app for busy parents. Using Cursor to ship v1 myself. Keep explanations plain; I'm learning as I go.

Ship in 6 weeks: weekly meal plan, grocery list export, save up to 5 favorite recipes. Skip social sharing, photos, and nutrition tracking until after first paying users.

Testing: 'Dinner decided by Sunday' vs 'Stop staring at the fridge at 6pm.' Audience is working parents. Tone should feel helpful, not preachy. Subhead under 12 words.

Parent aged 32–45 with two kids, shops at Trader Joe's or Costco, dreads Sunday meal planning. Will pay $9/mo if it saves 2+ hours a week. Not targeting chefs or fitness people yet.

14-day free trial, then $9/mo or $79/yr. No enterprise tier yet. Competitors charge $8–12/mo. Need simple Stripe checkout — ask Cursor to keep payment setup beginner-friendly.

Sound warm, practical, and slightly funny — like a friend who's good at leftovers. Never say 'synergy' or 'leverage.' Use 'you' not 'users.' Don't guilt parents about takeout.

After signup: welcome → household size → dietary restrictions → first weekly plan. No tutorial longer than 3 screens. 'Start free trial' on every page until they subscribe.

Suggest small steps I can test right away. Explain what changed in plain English. Flag anything that needs a real developer later. I deploy on Vercel — keep setup instructions copy-pasteable.
