The thinking behind Lilo
Problem
Massive amounts of perfectly good food are wasted daily by restaurants and stores. Consumers want affordable meals but lack visibility into nearby surplus.
Solution
Built a geolocation-powered marketplace with Prisma 7, BullMQ job queues, Radix UI components, Zustand state management, and React Hook Form with Zod validation.
Impact
Dual marketplace model enables both planned and spontaneous food rescue, maximizing food saved from waste.
