Inspiration

Forkify was inspired by the need for a fast, user-friendly recipe app that helps users find, customize, and save their favorite meals. It brings efficiency to home cooking with a modern web experience.

What it does

Forkify allows users to search thousands of recipes, adjust ingredient quantities, bookmark favorites, and even add custom recipes. It provides a seamless cooking experience with an intuitive UI.

How we built it

We built Forkify using JavaScript (ES6+), HTML, and Sass, leveraging modern ES6 modules, async/await, and API integration for fetching recipe data dynamically. The app follows a MVC architecture for scalability.

Challenges we ran into

  • Handling API rate limits and ensuring smooth data fetching.
  • Implementing state management to track bookmarks and user preferences.
  • Creating an intuitive UI while maintaining responsiveness across devices.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Successfully integrating a real-world recipe API with clean and efficient JavaScript code.
  • Building a fully interactive app that enhances user experience with bookmarking and custom recipe addition.
  • Mastering JavaScript concepts like async programming and modular architecture.

What we learned

  • Deepened our understanding of JavaScript asynchronous operations and API handling.
  • Improved UI/UX skills while optimizing the app for responsiveness.
  • Gained hands-on experience in state management and local storage for a better user experience.

What's next for Forkify

  • Implementing user authentication for personalized recipe saving.
  • Adding meal planning and grocery list features.
  • Enhancing UI with animations and accessibility improvements.
  • Expanding API sources for more diverse recipe options.
