Sandwich Bets

Social prediction and lunch-debt ledger

One Sandwich Max.

Sandwich Bets started with a tiny social failure: two friends make a dumb prediction, forget the terms, and later remember the outcome differently. The joke only works if the system remembers exactly what was proposed, what changed, who accepted it, and whether the resulting sandwich was ever delivered.

That turned a novelty into a real product exercise. The app separates theatrical odds from settlement, caps every consequence at one sandwich, versions negotiated terms, keeps the ledger private to participants, and leaves an obligation open until lunch is delivered or forgiven.

Role

  • Designed the product model, negotiation loop, fulfillment states, visual system, and one-sandwich settlement boundary.
  • Built a universal Expo and React Native application with Supabase authentication, participant-scoped data, row-level security, and protected Edge Functions.
  • Developed the coded product prototype, early-access landing experience, invitation flow, decorative odds ceremony, resolution process, and sandwich ledger.
  • Kept money, wallets, deposits, payouts, and real gambling mechanics deliberately outside the system.
