Current State

The development of the Foodable project has gone by well these past couple of months. Nearly all of the user interface has been completed and a large portion of the backend functionality has been implemented, allowing users to save grocery lists and recipes. I personally have been responsible for the user interface of the grocery page, as well as making the initial implementations of grocery list creation. I have also more recently begun work on implementing some of the third party API’s the application will use to identify nearby grocery stores and view their database of products. Additionally, users are able create their own accounts for the application and role based access control is being fleshed out so that the application can differentiate between guests, registered users, and admins. We’re approaching an application that simplifies meal planning and grocery shopping, making the process more manageable and budget-friendly.

Who Will Use Foodable?

Foodable is designed for individuals who want to make smarter grocery purchases by finding the most affordable nearby stores. It also is a place for people to create and share their recipes with Foodable community, as it will have social features. Foodable encourages users to discover, create, and share recipes while fostering a community centered around cost-effective and delicious meals.

The Benefits

Foodable offers a convenient way to manage grocery lists while helping users locate the best deals on food in their area. They will also be exposed to more recipes that will encourage healthy eating, as they will be supported by a community that appreciates meals that are both affordable and nutritious. By connecting with a community that values nutritious and budget-friendly meals, users can improve their meal planning experience while saving money.
