Inspiration
The inspiration for the web app was thanks to my girlfriend, I had asked her for ideas and out of the several that we discussed, I thought this was the most interesting one. A web app to share beverages of the users creation is a interesting one and I was more than willing to tackle it!
What it does
The web app lets any user create a beverage recipe that consists of it's name, ingredients, instructions and whether it contains alcohol or not. It then let's the user share these recipes or like them. Functionality that is to be added is unique users with comments and images on each recipe.
How we built it
The app is built on a simple base, it uses HTML/CSS with Bootstrap, an uses npm as a package manager, to serve it's pages it uses EJS, and stores the recipes in a SQLite database, the website is hosted in Render.com
Challenges we ran into
Originally the web app was to be built with the React framework, but there was some trouble getting things like end points and other problems appeared, in the end I decided to use just simple HTML/CSS with Bootstrap
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The integrations of the SQLite database and searching for items from the database, and the overall look and feel of the webapp
What we learned
How to set and configure endpoints.
What's next for What's In It?
To polish and add unique users, with authentication, each recipe should have a comment section that users can comment and add images too, and maybe migrate the project to React.
