📕 Abstract

This project was born out of a love for bread of all kinds. We decided to create an interactive resource connecting a user to breads from across the world. With just a click on a map, a list of breads with cultural information about the tradition of bread-making from that country is displayed, allowing the user to learn more about regional breads. Selecting a bread displays more specific information about that type of bread and also shows a recipe. We wanted to showcase not only the diversity and variety of breads of the world but provide a recipe for the user to adventure into recreating it at home.

We are currently working on Part 1 of the project in which our information is from a handrolled Rails database but in Part 2, we plan to utilize AI to generate a much bigger variety of options for every country in the world. Leveraging AI in this way will allow us to focus on performance and user experience rather than populating a database with information for thousands of breads.

📖 Context

This project was created in an 11 day sprint and is currently in v1 stage of the two-part Capstone project. It was designed, engineered and created by a full-stack team in mod 4 at Turing School of Software and Design.

👾 Challenges

• Looking for and then deciding to build our own bread APIs
• Integrating an interactive mapping component with Leaflet
• Creating two iterations, the first built for our C# API and this one for our Rails API
