Inspiration
We noticed that many people want to eat healthier, but find it hard to start. We hope that this app can streamline the process by making recipes so people can achieve their health goals.
What it does
MealGenie is a Health and wellness app (or website) where users can enter allergies or dietary restrictions and the ingredients they have available to create nutritious and delicious recipes tailored to their dietary needs.
How we built it
We used flask and python for the backend, HTML/CSS and JavaScript for the front end. We passed user inputs into the backend using fetch API requests, and passed that information to Cloudflare's Workers Ai API with Llama3 LLM. The recipes created by Llama3 are converted to JSON format and passed back to the frontend to display to the user
Challenges we ran into
Our initial project idea included many more features that we weren't able to implement due to time constraints. We also had many issues setting up the developing environment and techstack.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
As a team of first-time hackers, we're proud of the project we built and the new skills we've learned.
What we learned
We learned many new skills, including how to use flask, how to use API's, and connecting frontend with backend to create a fullstack application.
What's next for MealGenie
Next Steps for MealGenie include a more fleshed out UI, and implementing the rating and nutrient tracking database features. We believe that once MealGenie is fully finished, it can be very impactful to health around the world.
