SeeFood

Inspiration

I know that times have been tough for local restaurant owners, and so I set out to create SeeFood, a project that could help them engage with potential customers.

What it does

SeeFood is a REST API that stores and shares data about restaurants. When restaurant owners create meals on SeeFood, a qr code is automatically generated for them to use to share their specialties.

How we built it

The backend api and website routing was all done in Python Flask and SQL, using cockroachdb for the cloud storage option. The website was done using Jinja2 templates mixed with CSS and JavaScript. A flutter app was also created but unfortunately never completed.

Challenges we ran into

Trying to set up the augmented reality cost me a lot of time and I was ultimately stumped by problems with unity and flutter_unity. I sunk a good half day into trying to make the AR work, which was tough, but a good lesson to learn.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Setting up a REST API on the first night and setting up my first Flutter app.

What we learned

Don't spread yourself too thin/don't bite off more than you can chew.

What's next for SeeFood

An eventual implementation of AR capabilities for a unique restaurant experience!
