Help Mean Pies to keep serving up the honest pie reviews for New Zealand!

Mean Pies Is Already a Hit - Help Us Level Up!
Kiwis have spoken: 16,000+ downloads and 2,700+ pie-obsessed accounts prove it - Mean Pies is New Zealand’s go-to app for honest pie reviews! But now, we need your help to fuel the next chapter.
Our community is growing faster than a good bacon and egg sells out at 8am. To keep up, we’re crowdfunding to upgrade our tech and supercharge the app. Your support will:
Buy a reliable laptop so we can squash bugs, add features, and keep improving the app full-time (no more coding from a 5-year-old brick that may not turn on one day!).
Boost server power to handle more users, faster searches, and real-time updates as pie lovers nationwide hunt for perfection.
Why donate?
You’ll keep the app alive - no more crashes during peak pie hours (yes, that’s a real thing).
Unlock new features like personalisation of profile pages, pie-driven road trips, reward points leading to free pies and much more!
Support local - keeping Mean Pies going hard is key to raising the bar for pies all across NZ!
Mean Pies is for all of New Zealand to use so I would love your help to make sure it is the best it can be!
The most pressing issue is an old laptop that may stop getting updates which means I can't update the app and constantly reaching server limits. I would love to have a smooth running machine for everyone to use!
A new Apple Laptop (this is so I can build the iPhone as well as Android apps).
Hosting of the Mean Pies backend on a much more powerful server.
Pay the bills for using the google APIs that serve up the pie shops.
Wow thank you so much!!
