Developer builds static site tracking 14 years of meals eaten across Mexico
A developer created 'Sobremesa', a single static HTML page documenting six meals eaten across six Mexican cities over fourteen years. The project is built around the Spanish concept of 'sobremesa' — the time spent lingering at a table after a meal ends — and tracks how long the author and his wife stayed at each table rather than rating the food itself. The six cities covered include Tijuana, Rosarito, Ensenada, Guadalajara, Mexico City, and Oaxaca, totalling nine hours and thirty minutes across all tables. Each entry includes the dish, location, a verified food fact, and a personal note, while a built-in form lets visitors generate a downloadable card for their own memorable meal. The site uses no framework, no build step, no tracking, and no cookies, and was submitted to the DEV Frontend Challenge under the Comfort Food Edition prompt.
