Inspiration
An app that would allow users to search recipes by ingredients, dietary restrictions, price, and other factors to plan out meals for their household.
What it does
PURA lets the user search (minimally at the moment) for recipes in our database by dietary restriction, taking the work out of figuring out what's for dinner.
How we built it
We built PURA using Thonny, it is run locally on the client machine.
Challenges we ran into
Our group sought to make a web-based API on the Google Cloud Platform, we set up a VM instance in the compute engine, and made the beginnings of a web-based API using pycharm. Our web-based API makes use of a database as opposed to a dictionary. We were able to get working GET & POST requests to and from our webAPI on a locally-running instance, but did not have enough time to implement this on our VM on the Google Cloud Platform.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We all competed in our first Hackathon!
What we learned
We learned web development isn't easy.
What's next for PURA
Improvements to search functions and CSV database. We want to add filters like price, more variety of dietary restrictions, ingredient search, and allergies.
