When I turned 21, like many others new to the bar scene, I had no idea what kind of drinks to buy or what I might like. After trying many things, some of which I loved and some I hated, I decided I wanted to start keeping track of what I have tried so I would never accidentally try the same thing I hated twice. I started taking photos of the drinks that I tried, and added notes to them in the notes app on my phone. This worked for a while, until it became very clear it wasn't a long term solution. It wasn't easily searchable, I couldn't filter the list, my notes weren't all formatted the same which made looking back challenging, and I knew I needed a better solution. There were other apps out there that had some of the features I was looking for, but they were all either just beer, or just wine, never any cocktails or recipes. I wanted an app that could keep track of all of it, in one place. I spent the better part of 3 years building Tried-It from scratch until finally, earlier this year, I felt it was ready to release to the public. Since launch, I have been working on new features and performance improvements.

This looks interesting. My friend used to take fotos from every whine bottle he had in his hands. I think you are not alone with your idea -> there is a demand, not sure how big, though?

I’m afraid I might be to tipsy to use this whilst imbibing

Congratulations on your launch and huge respect for staying the course over 3 years of development. I’ve tried wine and beer apps before, so I like the idea of a single app to integrate it all, and the geotagging makes it like a drink diary too!
