Let us paint this picture for you.

It’s 11 p.m. You’re still not out of work. All you want is something delicious to eat, but you’re wracked by indecision as you continue to switch between various delivery options like Caviar, GrubHub, and DoorDash. If you’re getting sweaty palms just imagining the situation, then rejoice — there is a solution. FeedMe, a company that may just be the most aptly named enterprise ever, compiles all of your options into one place.

It’s a new service from Michael Shim and Jason Allen, who began working on the idea as a team last year. They bring with them years of experience from HBO and Porch and a hunger for delightful treats. “FeedMe’s goal is to be the front page of restaurant delivery,” Shim said in an email interview with GeekWire. “We want to remove the drudgery and frustration of ordering restaurant food.”

While it’s hard to believe that getting food delivered straight to your door can be frustrating, the ever-growing industry is living proof of the problem of the paradox of choice. As more and more options begin popping up on the Seattle delivery scene, it’s also getting more difficult to choose or even know what is available.

“The idea for FeedMe stemmed from my wife and I getting sick of always having to look at the different delivery providers just to find who would deliver a specific restaurant,” Shim told GeekWire. “There was a specific ramen place that we liked that ended up switching from Caviar, to Postmates, to Doordash.” So rather than further crowding an already nearly saturated market, FeedMe simply serves as a central location where you can find everything from everyone.

With the service’s True Pricing feature, you will be able to see the exact price you have to pay for your favorite meal, including delivery, tax, and tip extras. While the company is based in Seattle, it’s already up and running in a number of cities across the U.S., including Manhattan, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Austin, Texas.

So the next time you are in search of something to eat, just search everything from one place with FeedMe.

This smart display alternative can now use AI to plan all your meals

The Skylight Cal Max installed on a wall.

Skylight is a smart home company that produces a variety of smart display alternatives, such as the Skylight Cal Max. These serve as a central hub for all your daily planning -- they’re primarily used as a digital calendar, but you can also use them to track chores, make lists, or meal prep. That last aspect just became much more exciting, as Skylight is officially introducing Sidekick, an AI-powered assistant that can plan all your meals in just a few minutes.

Sidekick is a new AI feature for Skylight devices. It’s capable of generating personalized recipes based on your budget, family size, and dietary restrictions, and it’ll even create a shopping list and load up step-by-step cooking instructions. Skylight hopes the new feature will save families 10 hours every month, as they’ll no longer need to worry about the logistics surrounding meal prep.

Smarten up your holiday scene with the Govee Icicle Lights

The Govee Icicle Lights.

Keen to make your home this holiday season look fantastic? If you’re aiming for a National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation style appearance but want it smarter, you need more than just the Philips Hue deals going on. Right now, you can buy the Govee Icicle Lights set for just $90 at Best Buy so you’re saving $50 off the regular price of $140. They make the outside of your home look gorgeous while being super practical. Here’s all you need to know before you buy.

Why you should buy the Govee Icicle Lights
I love Govee products. Since buying the Govee Lyra Smart Floor Lamp, I’ve been consistently impressed by how well its products work while being very keenly priced. It’s a different kind of technology than the best cheap smart light bulbs but it’s perfect for stringing together some lights around your home or room. The only downside is the company's app isn't as stylish as the Hue one but you get all the same benefits for a much better price.
