Inspiration

Although there is plentiful information available about any particular recipe, sometimes choosing the recipe is the hardest part, especially on a limited budget.

What it does

It shows the user a weekly plan of meals based on a given budget input. The user may decide whether or not to include breakfast, lunch and/or dinner.

How I built it

We spent a while brainstorming and learning React, and then all worked on different components and implementation details.

Challenges we ran into

We had to learn React, as well as attempt to use an api for recipes called Spoonacular. Unfortunately, we ran out of time, so the front-end gui does not display data from the Spoonacular api.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I helped push the planning forward and kept the team on track with the requirements guidelines. I researched the possible frameworks and apis

What I learned

I learned the general strategies for developing a gui and planning out a web application

What's next for StruggleMeals

We want to finish integrating the api and the gui, as well as host it on Heroku or Google Cloud with a domain from Domain.com After switch we can focusing looking into a built in recipe finder with dietary based toggles (vegetarian, or high protein servings for when completing workouts). Lastly, one of our main ideas was to have a calendar with a list of meals saved for the month.
