Fridge to Table

Inspiration

Whenever people go shopping, they are often confused about what products they have and what has an expiration date. It is also difficult to decide what to cook.

What it does

You can easily save food inventory on a table. People can manage their inventory and track products intelligently using various tools. People can then choose what they want to eat and our website will suggest a variety of recipes they will love to eat. If they don't want to cook, they can also take any nearby restaurants that can serve or deliver food to them.

How I built it

Edamam API was used to fetch products and nutritional values. I've also used it to bring up the various Recipe options they have for their chosen ingredients. Google Maps has also been added to display a list of restaurants serving a particular food item. Added Auth0 to secure the user's profile and ensure smooth login and registration. Used cockroach-db to save user's profile and inventory. Implemented on website made using HTML, CSS and EJS and hosted on Vercel.

Challenges i ran into

Work in a different Timezone.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

If there is one thing I should be proud of, it is that I did not give up even though it seemed difficult at first and I succeeded despite all the difficulties. I am happy to have completed the project in such a short time and we learned a lot from this hackathon.

What I learned

I've learned without a doubt that the important thing is to believe you can program it and not give up. The technical apprenticeship has been substantial and comprehensive.
