Fermento tells you when to feed, flip or check every jar, from a sourdough starter to kimchi, kombucha, koji or cured meat, and keeps the pH, salt and weight log as you go. Photograph a surface that looks wrong and get a keep-or-discard call. If you sell what you make, the same log turns into the food-safety plan (HACCP) you'd otherwise pay a consultant for, exported as an inspector-ready PDF.

Could you build this?
Yes A fermentation tracker with reminders, logs, and photo-based advice is buildable as a CRUD app with notifications and a vision-model API call. Food-safety accuracy of the photo judgments is a caveat but not a blocker to building it.
