This document outlines a proposed mobile app that would allow users to locate and save the locations of fresh herbs and fruits in their local area. The app would use a user's GPS location to find nearby herbs and allow them to mark and save herb locations on a map. Two potential user personas are described: a restaurant cook interested in finding fresh herbs, and a young woman interested in organic ingredients. Technical details are provided on how the app could utilize GPS location, data storage, and cloud servers. The creator expresses interest in developing this app and learning more about app development.
