Inspiration

Our inspiration came from solving the problem of trying to share a noodle recipe with a friend, only to have constantly rewrite and correct the recipe to make it understandable.

What it does

It is a social media platform based on creating and sharing recipes that you love. In the main feed you will be recommended recipes based on how many of the ingredients you have, and hearted content. Each post has comments, a star rating and a difficulty rating, tags, location, and a story behind the recipe. You get to update the page with what ingredients you currently have and also save your favorite recipes.

In each recipe post you can save the ingredients as a checklist to your phone, there is TTS for the blind to follow along, there are dietary restrictions or food allergies or intolerances, that you can enable to see alternative ingredients, links to teach you how to do each step, timer to help you follow along, convert from metric to us.

There would be multilingual support, as users could submit in their native languages. Users could create tags or categories that highlight underrepresented cultures and their traditional recipes. For the visually impaired, there would be color contrast mode and dyslexia friendly font options. For any recipes with videos there would be automatic captions and visual aids for those with hearing impairments or cognitive disabilities. To include different cultures, there would be a tag to filter recipes by religious or cultural dietary practices (e.g., Halal, Kosher, Jain, etc.). We would also feature and promote recipes from marginalized or underrepresented communities. There would be diverse chefs from different gender identities, ages, and backgrounds. Allow filtering for recipes based on age group (e.g., kid-friendly, senior-friendly) to be more accessible. Interactive recipes with AI for accessible cooking.

How we built it

We used HTML and CSS for the frontend and for any functionally we used JavaScript. We couldn't really get most of the ideas working.

Challenges we ran into

Execution and implementation. We had to spend too much time learning and ended up being demotivated by the short deadline.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We all really like the idea and hope it succeeds in the future.

What we learned

We learned that we should learn the basics of web development as preparation since we spent so much time learning it.

What's next for Recipeasy

Most likely continued implementations until it is somewhat working properly.
