The Story Behind AllergySnap™
AllergySnap™ was born from a simple frustration: standing in grocery store aisles, squinting at tiny ingredient lists, trying to determine if a product was safe for my family member with severe food allergies.
As an indie developer, I knew technology could solve this problem. But existing apps were complicated, required extensive setup, or focused on general wellness rather than the critical question every person with allergies asks: "Can I eat this?"
