Weekly planner thing.
The Concept
Meal planning is tedious. Deciding what to eat 7 times gets old. What if AI suggested meals based on what you're craving this week?
What I Built
A meal planner assistant that:
- Asks what flavors you're into this week
- Suggests recipes matching your mood
- Generates a shopping list
- Considers what you already have
Stack: React, OpenAI API, Local Storage
Key Learnings
1. Vibe-based input works
"I want something spicy and quick" is more useful than browsing 1000 recipes. Natural language for preferences.
2. Shopping list is the killer feature
Pretty meal plans are nice. Knowing exactly what to buy is useful. The unglamorous feature matters most.
3. Variety needs forcing
Left alone, AI suggests similar things. Had to explicitly request diversity: different cuisines, different proteins, etc.
