# About Forkboard

> Why Forkboard is web-first, and the thesis behind it: dinner is a planning problem, not a notification.

Forkboard exists because deciding a whole week of dinners deserves real room to think — a board you can see at a glance, on the screen where you plan everything else.

## The thesis

"What's for dinner?" isn't a moment — it's seven decisions that interact: the night you're tired, the night you host, the roast on Monday that should become tacos on Thursday. That's a planning problem, and planning problems want a board, not a feed. So Forkboard is web-first and desktop-first, unapologetically: the whole week visible at once, on the screen where the rest of your life already gets planned. And it's the same full app on every screen — the iPhone app does everything the web does, in sync, with an Android app on the way.

## What makes it different

It learns what you like from quick thumbs up and down instead of an endless recipe feed or an hour-long quiz. It plans by energy — tag a fifteen-minute Monday and a two-hour Sunday and the week arranges itself around them. And it treats a household as a first-class idea: two cooks, two taste profiles, one shared board.
