Broken Link to Live Site - Reuben, Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 02/12/26

  • Description: Our domain (foodathome.app) is currently being flagged as Grayware by Palo Alto, the firewall vendor Drexel uses at the network edge. This is a false positive and not related to anything wrong with our site. It’s a common issue with shared hosting platforms like Vercel, where a shared IP address may have been previously associated with activity that triggered the classification. IT has contacted to Palo Alto on our behalf. Once they update the category, the site should be accessible on the Drexel network with no changes needed on our end. These requests typically take about 24–48 hours to process.

  • Voice Actors: Reuben and Anup?

  • Start with Journey Map - Aidan Samuel

  • (Aidan calls boyfriend to ask about groceries)

    • Ring ring ring…Hey how many eggs do we have left

    • Ring ring ring…do we have any salt left?

    • Ring ring ring…do we have any broccoli at home

    • Boyfriend is busy and annoyed that Aidan keeps calling about the fridge

  • This is Aiden.

  • Goes to the grocery store and doesn’t remember what’s in his fridge, so he just buys whatever he sees or is on sale. [This looks good, that looks good]

  • When he’s putting things in the pantry and the fridge, he realizes that he has duplicates of some items…and that a lot of things are expired. Oops

  • It’s also time to pay off his credit card. Woah, I spent a lot… “I didn’t even eat out that much this month.”

  • He realizes he needs to figure out where his money is going. Does cooking at home actually cost this much money??

  • He gets Food at Home to figure out how much he’s spending on groceries. He finds out that all he needs are his receipts to track both his food and the money he spent. 

  • When he’s at the grocery store now, he can check what he has in his fridge right where he is and won’t risk buying duplicates.

  • More importantly, he can see how much he is spending by the day, week, month, and year! Tracking his overall expenses helps him set reasonable monthly budgets that he is more likely to stick to. 

  • [now he’s telling a friend about it]

    • “Yeah, I’ve been using Food at Home for a year now, and I never knew I spent so much on cheese!”

    • I’ve saved hundreds of dollars and wasted less food knowing what’s in my fridge. I even have a better idea of how long it takes for cheese to go bad now.
