Shared Spatula

As a team of foodies, we were inspired by the idea of connecting people through their love for food. We believe that cooking and sharing meals is a powerful way to foster community and promote wellbeing. This led us to develop an app that would make cooking more accessible and enjoyable for people of all levels of culinary expertise. To build our app, we first conducted research on existing meal planning and recipe apps to see what features were missing and how we could improve upon them. We then created wireframes and user flows to map out the app's design and functionality. We decided to focus on a simple, user-friendly interface that would allow users to input their preferences and quickly receive recipe suggestions. One of the main challenges we faced was integrating chatGPT into React. ChatGPT is a powerful tool that uses AI to generate natural language responses, and we wanted to incorporate it into our app to provide users with personalized recipe suggestions. However, we had limited experience with React and had to spend a lot of time learning how to integrate the two technologies. Ultimately, we were able to successfully incorporate chatGPT into our app and create a seamless user experience. We also learned how to make an app on Xcode, which was a valuable skill for our team. We used Convex for easy backend work, which allowed us to focus on the front-end development of our app. Valuenex was another tool we used for retrieving and applying data into our app. Overall, this project was a great learning experience for our team. We were able to combine our passion for food with our technical skills to create an app that we believe has the potential to bring people together and improve their wellbeing. While there were challenges along the way, we were able to overcome them and produce a functional and user-friendly app. We hope that our app will inspire more people to cook and connect through food.
