Recipe App

Personal full-stack project for saving recipes and planning meals. Core CRUD in progress; AI-assisted search planned for a later phase.

Next.jsTypeScriptFull-StackMeal PlanningIn Progress

Vision

A recipe app I actually want to use: save recipes from URLs or manual entry, tag and search them, plan a week of meals. AI-assisted search is a later addition — useful for discovery, but not the foundation.

Planned Features

  • Recipe CRUD with tags, categories, and full-text search across saved items
  • Weekly meal plan view pulling from the saved recipe library
  • URL import parsing recipe title, ingredients, and steps where possible
  • AI-assisted search and suggestions — scoped to later, after core data model is solid

Tech Stack

  • Next.js and TypeScript — App Router, server actions for data mutations
  • PostgreSQL for recipe and meal plan data
  • Auth for personal account scoping
  • LLM API integration planned for search — not started yet

Current Status

Early build. Data models and basic recipe save/list are in progress. Deliberately holding off on AI features until the core save-search-plan loop works reliably.

Next Steps

  • Finish recipe CRUD and tagging
  • Add meal plan view with drag-to-assign from saved recipes
  • Prototype URL import with graceful fallback for unsupported sites
  • Evaluate AI search once the non-AI path is useful on its own
