Inspiration

Growing up with 4 siblings my parents would always stress about what they were going to cook for dinner to feed everyone and after graduating from university with time on my hands I wanted to see if I could vibecode an app to help them. Beyond this, humanity has managed to collect most types of raw ingredients together and organise them in buildings we call supermarkets. This is all fricitonless and allows anyone to go to their local shop and get all the ingredients they need to cook an elaborate meal from any part of the world. We have the technology to go one step further so instead of driving 10 minutes to the store you get all the food you need for the week on your doorstep every week so you have more time to spend doing the things you want to. I also want to encourage people to cook their own food more, it is so easy to order takeaway that it insentivises people to be unhealthy and it distances people from what they are actually consuming. Companies like Gusto and Hellofresh recognise this but are going about it in the wrong way which makes it more expensive for customers (and also more profitable for the companies). Why isnt there an app with the well known recipes catalogued and you are able to pick and choose what you want which automatically updates your shopping list and orders it for you??

What it does

Currently it gives you a suggestion on what to cook tonight, gives you the ingredients list, all the nutritional value and instructions on how to cook it. With Superwhok you can plan meals for the week and create a shopping list. In the near future, I hope to allow users to have their shopping list be automatically uploaded to whichever store you use so you can checkout instantly and get the list delivered to your door hassle free.

How we built it

Vibecoded using claude code with no prior app developement experience.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenges are just legal issues around recipes because you can't just steal all the data from BBC Good Food and I have no previous cheffing experience so currently all the meals are AI generated and there is an option for you to upload a photo once you have cooked it. You can also add and share your own recipes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Just getting the app online and working, this is all new to me so I have had to learn a lot.

What's next for Whok

An all encompasing food app that has everything you need to plan and cook meals at home hassle free. We can add snacks, drinks and baking, go deeper into the nutritional side with calorie, macro/micro nutrients tracking. Can add profiles and allow users to group up so one family member can edit the shopping list for that week to add things they want. We want to integrate fully with all the stores that do delivery, potentially corner stores as well.
