Hey everyone! I'm Calvin, the founder of Minim.

I started building Minim because I was frustrated with how much time and effort it takes to make a simple purchasing decision. There are thousands of options, endless reviews, and no shortage of companies telling you their product is the best.

But the best product isn't necessarily the best product for you.

I wanted to create something that could actually understand what matters to you, whether that's price, quality, durability, materials, or something else entirely, and use those priorities to help you make better decisions.

That's the idea behind Minim.

You can define your personal values, research products based on those priorities, save things you're interested in, and keep track of what you already own.

My larger goal is pretty simple: help people spend less time shopping, make more informed decisions, and get more value out of the things they buy.

I'm an architect by profession, not a software developer, and building this has been a tremendous learning experience. There's still plenty I want to improve.

I'd especially love to hear your thoughts on the research experience. Do the recommendations feel useful and trustworthy? What would make Minim more valuable to you?

Thanks for checking it out. I genuinely appreciate any feedback!
