We created FeedForward for the UniHack 2024 Hackathon
FeedForward is a platform that connects these food providers (restaurants/grocery stores/etc), to those in need (foodbanks/etc).
It does this by providing a platform to advertise excess food that providers have no need for, such as unused ingredients, left-over food, etc.
On the other side, it provides a platform for receivers to view these locations, what foods they have available, locations, quantities, potential recipes, etc.

1. When a food reciever is presented with a list of ingredients from a food reciever, using the spoonacular API, we provided the functionality to automatically list various dishes the reciever can make from the ingredients, e.g. a list of: Peanut Butter, Jam, and Bread, could present the user with a PBJ Sandwich.
2. intuitive UI/UX to follow and use, with users being able to easily see various locations of food providers on a map.
3. We were planning to implement a photo to text tool so that providers only need to take photos of ingredients and everything is automatically organised.

1. a ReactJS frontend
2. NodeJS & ExpressJS backend - connecting to the google maps API, and spoonacular API.
3. MongoDB atlas database
