The idea for Meals4Me came about during the first night of the hackathon. While brainstorming various ideas that alluded to the prompt, we could only think of food. Like the rest of our peers, we were hungry to start building a useful application that could solve a wide-ranging struggle amongst our peers and also to eat. That's how Meals4Me began. As the night ensued, we drafted a website containing a calendar that would allow individuals to pick generated meals from an API called Spoonacular. At 8 AM the next morning, we started building the code of our project, first fetching data from our API using Python and trying to build a skeleton for our website using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. As lunchtime arrived, we stumbled upon a plethora of connection errors while attempting to link our backend programming to our frontend using Flask. Another prominent issue was navigating the merge conflicts while using Git to track the progression of our code. In order to resolve these conflicts, we dedicated an ample amount of time to communicating our needs and progress while working on the same branch. Lastly, we struggled to mesh all of the team members ideas and various skill sets together. With Venus Hacks being our first hackathon (for all four of us), we are extremely proud of the application we have cultivated and hope it will helps students with meal prepping. One of the main learning points throughout this process was that teamwork and cooperation require clear communication and compromise. While we weren't able to incorporate every single idea put on the plate, we still worked hard as a team to have a finished product. We hope you can enjoy our website. Happy mealing!
