Nibbly started in Oslo in 2025 with a simple irritation: the things we eat and drink — and what we honestly think of them — end up scattered across camera rolls, notes apps, and Instagram feeds where they can never be found again.
Ask a friend "what's actually the best burger you've had here?" and watch them scroll. The answer exists. It's just buried under two hundred posts, in an app built for scrolling — not for remembering.
Beer has Untappd. Wine has Vivino. Restaurants have Beli. But the tinned fish, the hot sauces, the kebab places, the sodas, the dish you always order at that one place — everything else has nowhere to live.
Nibbly is that home: rate anything you eat or drink, rank it in collections, put it on your map, and follow the people whose taste you actually trust. Not a feed you dig through — a taste you can browse.
The idea takes shape — out of a small frustration with Untappd: IPAs and pilsners all crammed into one list, with no way to keep styles apart. Wanting real freedom to sort taste into lists of your own — and somewhere to rate all the things that had no app at all — became nibbly. The first lines of code get written.
The side project gets serious. Evenings and weekends go into building nibbly for real.
Round after round of real-phone testing — features land, rough edges come off, and the app slowly becomes the thing it was supposed to be.
Nibbly 1.0 ships on the App Store.
A big update with what's just been built: AI label reading for products no catalog knows, place lookup with menus ranked by real ratings, and photo & video galleries. Then Android and the web.
Nibbly is built by Daniel Lundquist, a Norwegian computer engineer with a focus on app development. By day he builds software for building and facility management; the rest of the time he's trying out new things — new tools, new side projects, and above all new things to eat and drink. Nibbly is where that habit ended up.
It's independent, self-funded, and built on one rule: ratings, scores, and the feed are never for sale. No ads shoved in your feed, no paying to rank higher. Money can come from around the edges — never from messing with what's real.
