Meal Planner (Name Pending)
Pitch
I've noticed a lot of meal planning apps that will just have basic recipes that someone can make, or a calendar to plan and track out days for certain meals, or a way for you to add your own recipes into the system. There are none, however, that have put all of these ideas together to be in one app! This app (or webapp) idea is to have a calendar to plan out meals, a recipe library of some kind, and then an actual walk-through of instructions on how to make the dishes with included timers and other useful bits for cooking. I would love to have an all-in-one app for this kind of thing.
Summary of features (optional)
- ability to plan out food on a calendar
- ability to add personal recipes into the app
- ability to never leave app for timers and other things like that while cooking
- potential to share recipes with people over the internet, this is out of scope and a stretch goal
Possible Architectures (optional)
This is meant to be as simple and easy as possible to get a viable product working. The simplest way to do this would be through an Android app. This could be in either Kotlin or Java. It would be using mostly available components inside of android studio to complete. The database would either be mySQL or MariaDB, both of which are very similar to one another. This app is completely client side with how I'm looking at it, so it wouldn't need any other services to run.
