Inspiration

We were inspired to make this project from our own experiences and that of others in our college community. We became tired of spending $7+ on a simple sandwich on campus that could easily be made at a lower cost at home.

What it does

This website lists popular fast food chains that the user can choose from. Based on their choice, they can choose a popular menu item from one of these chains. After choosing their meal, they are redirected to another website with a healthier alternative that can be made at home.

How we built it

We used Python, Flask, HTML, and CSS to build our website.

Challenges we ran into

This is our first hackathon and our first time making a website so we ran into many challenges at the start on learning how to set up and design a basic website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our group effort! This is our first time working together so we are proud of how we could collaborate and craft a decent basic website together.

What we learned

We learned many new skills, as none of us had been familiar with HTML, CSS, or Flask before this. By practicing and trying new things with these tools on our website, we learned many simple yet useful techniques from these tools.

What's next for We Have Food at Home

We Have Food at Home definitely has room for expansion by adding more fast food chains and menu items. There could also be more precision in the dupe recipes provided, as we quickly chose recipes due to the time limit, without calculating how much cheaper and time efficient all the recipes were compared to the fast food alternative.
