Remember everything your friends recommend—restaurants, books, streaming series, jokes, and more

I first tried to build Rumbly.xyz about six months ago using Lovable, but I ran into several issues and kept getting errors, so I temporarily gave up. Then I discovered Replit. AI had also matured over those six months, which likely helped. I entered a three- or four-paragraph prompt describing exactly what I wanted, and about 75% of the app was built immediately. The problem I wanted to solve was simple: on an average Tuesday or Wednesday, my wife and I talk about where we want to eat. We know our friends have recommended countless places, and we keep saying we're going to try them, but we can only think of the two or three restaurants we always visit. So we end up going to the same places again. I built Rumbly.xyz as a simple web app. It lets you record a recommended restaurant, who recommended it, and what type of food it serves. Rumbly connects each restaurant to the Google Maps database, giving you the exact name and a map view, and you can add notes. Then I realized there was no reason to save only restaurant recommendations. People also recommend streaming series and books, and they tell jokes. I can never remember a joke two months later when someone asks, “Do you know any good jokes?”—even if I thought the last five were hilarious. Rumbly.xyz lets you save any of these recommendations from your friends and share them with friends who are already on Rumbly or have not joined yet. I connected it to email and enabled it to send mobile messages to your phone. I built all of this through Replit. 1. I described the problem and the app I wanted in a three- or four-paragraph prompt in Replit. 2. I built a web app that records restaurant recommendations, the person who made each recommendation, the type of food, and additional notes. 3. I connected restaurant entries to the Google Maps database for exact names and a map view. 4. I expanded the app to save recommendations for streaming series, books, and jokes—not just restaurants. 5. I connected Rumbly.xyz to email and mobile messaging so recommendations can be shared with friends who are on Rumbly or have not joined yet.
