PrepPeroni

Inspiration

The inspiration for this project came from our passion to reduce food waste. From our user research survey, we found that about 32% of people surveyed said that the primary cause of their food waste came from buying too much food. Our idea is intended to focus on giving people more access to planning their meals, which helps them reduce food waste because they are empowered to plan their meals.

What it does

PrepPoroni is an application dedicated to meal planning based on ingredients that the user already has at home. Users can plan meals before they go grocery shopping, or use the app reactively while they are grocery shopping.

How we built it

We designed the application using Adalo for design mocks.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into issues with having enough time to complete all of the elements that we want because this hackathon is during our final project week. We had to complete both the survey and prototype within only 10 hours.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of our solution. We designed something that we all wanted to use in our daily lives.

What we learned

We learned that even designing an app (not even getting to building) can be extremely time consuming; it's important to start small and iteratively build from there.

What's next for PrepPoroni

We will continue improving the design of this project, specifically focusing on both the logo and accessbility of the UI. We want to make this app a reality; we intend to build the thing for iOS and Android devices as a side project in the coming months.
