Breakfast Burst Planner

Started: April 28, 2025

Breakfast Burst Planner

Plans breakfast. You sleep in.


The Concept

Morning decisions are hard. What should I eat? Do I have ingredients? How long will it take?

This app makes breakfast effortless by planning it the night before.

What I Built

A delightful breakfast planning app that:

  • Suggests recipes based on available ingredients
  • Estimates prep time
  • Generates shopping lists for missing items
  • Saves favorite combinations

Stack: Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Local Storage

Key Learnings

1. Delightful UI increases usage

A boring meal planner gets ignored. Add animations, pretty food images, and playful copy — suddenly people actually use it.

2. Constraints are features

"I only have eggs, bread, and butter" is actually a great starting point. The app works best when you tell it what you have, not what you want.

3. Timing matters more than variety

"5-minute breakfast" is more useful than "100 breakfast recipes." People care about fitting breakfast into their morning, not browsing options.
