Food and Cocktails

Food and Cocktails is a web application that provides nutritional facts for each food item and alcoholic data for each cocktail.

Inspiration

There are a lot of people who are fitness enthusiasts today and many others are worried about their health. People search for health data on different websites. This made me think about building an app that provides all the nutritional facts in one place and all the alcoholic content in one place for all the cocktails.

What it does

This app is a one-stop for all the nutritional data for different kinds of food and the contents present in different cocktails when people are unaware of what something is made up of or what it contains.

How we built it

I built it with React, CSS for the front end and Firebase as the backend serverless database containing all the data.

Challenges we ran into

Faced many challenges to find different APIs to directly use it, but almost every other API was premium. Had to build a database from scratch to encounter this.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Fastest project with short built time. Spent a lot of continuous hours alone for this hackathon to build it from scratch. Encountered the fear of building a project in a fast-paced solo environment.

What we learned

Learnt about different technologies like React and Firebase. Learnt different styling in CSS.

What's next for Food and Cocktails

Planning to make it user account based where people can log in and save their favourite foods. They will also receive notifications with the integration of a new Network as a service (NAAS) about new items and cocktails added.
