Inspiration

Being in quarantine
Finding recipes but they lack written instructions and you either end up forgetting or have to watch while you attempt a recipe-- which can be both time consuming and a hassle

What it does

Streams of cooking at home and food playlists with a note taking option and an inspiration gallery to get you hungry and motivated!

How we built it

Youtube API
CSS, Javascript, HTML

Challenges we ran into

Spacing/Alignment issues
It is not a registered webapp by Google so it requires signing in so Google can verify that it is a trusted source. It can only function on a server.
Filtering through parameters

I worked on the frontend devlopment of the home page (specifically getting the videos and notes to be associated correctly). I also worked on backend by getting the input for the notes to save for each user. This was an awesome learning experience, and I had so much fun working with this team!

I worked on frontend -- mainly website design/layout. I also created the About page and the Inspiration Gallery. I used HTML and CSS to create a "notes" function for the user, implemented the mail function and uploaded the images for the gallery. It was a great learning experience and gave me a chance to improve my skills!

I worked on backend and it was my first time using the Youtube API. It was cool to be able to set parameters and see the list the youtube videos that fall under the parameters I picked. I learned how to get a list of youtube videos from a cooking youtube channel and view it on the website! It was a very cool learning experience!
