Run by a human.

Fitness Leaf AI is run by a human – and that’s me.

My name is Manoj Kumar, the brainchild behind this web app. I live in Sydney, Australia, where I work full-time in digital advertising technology while also studying to become a full stack web developer. Additionally, I am an indie author in the making, currently working on a children’s picture book.

This web application is a bootstrapped indie product, managed entirely by myself, without any external funding or advertising. I have utilized my savings to build this app for you—an app that materialized from my personal need for vegetarian recipes that align with my fitness goals. The journey has been an incredible one, and I have gained valuable insights along the way.

My dedication to health and fitness began in July 2023, and the development of this app commenced in November of the same year. It was officially launched in February 2024. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Lakindu Alwis, a full-stack web developer from Sri Lanka, whom I commissioned to build this app. His enthusiasm and commitment to the project were instrumental in bringing it to fruition, and I am sincerely thankful to him.

For those interested, the tech stack used for the construction of this website includes:

  1. OpenAI ChatGPT for processing user inputs and generating recipes
  2. WordPress for the homepage
  3. NodeJS
  4. React
  5. Express.js
  6. Stripe for handling payments

As the sole manager of Fitness Leaf AI, I am not constrained by corporate policies or red tape, allowing me to develop the site quickly and creatively while prioritizing your needs. However, managing the site requires significant time and financial resources, and I am committed to addressing any issues that may arise promptly. Every email, question, idea, and feedback is personally read and responded to by me.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to you for visiting this website, and I hope you enjoy using this app while supporting indie makers and their dreams. Your support motivates me to continue dreaming differently and creating unique products.

Cheers!
Manoj
