This recipe sharing platform allows users to discover, share, and save recipes from around the world. The application includes features for creating and organizing recipes, social interactions, and cooking assistance tools.

The platform includes:

  • Recipe creation with step-by-step instructions
  • Photo uploading and gallery management
  • Ingredient list with measurement conversion
  • Cooking timer and tool suggestions
  • Recipe rating and review system
  • Social features like following and sharing
  • Recipe collections and favorites
  • Dietary filter and search functionality

The application was developed using React and TypeScript for the frontend, with Redux for state management. The backend was built with Node.js and Express, using MongoDB for data storage. AWS S3 was used for image storage and processing.

A significant challenge was implementing the recipe creation interface to be both comprehensive and user-friendly. This was addressed through iterative design and user testing to create an intuitive step-by-step process.
