    It’s funny when this kind of thing happens. I built an app that was basically tindr for a project in college, several years before tindr started. Guess I should have release it

      Wow! Something similar for me: in 2007 I built a website that had the same functionality as Hungry House. Basically a place where take-away restaurants could put their menus up and take orders. It didn’t take off and it only cost me a couple of month’s of work. Then Hungry House, Uber Eats etc came along a decade later and nailed it.
