Mission Statement for “Groceries to Gourmet”

To provide a website where users will log in, then they can choose from a list of top rated recipes (fetched from an API), those recipes will create a grocery list based on the ingredients required, then the user can save the grocery list, and check things off the list as they shop, add other items to the list, or delete items that they already have at home.

Stretch goals would include saving favorite recipes and ingredients, calorie counting functionality for weekly meal planning, comments and reviews on recipes. Revenue model includes targeted advertising for grocery stores, and ingredients – Recommended algorithms.

Notes from Cruz:

Lots of “closures” will be needed.

Steps Before We Begin Coding:

1. Spec document
2. User stories
3. Flow/choice diagram
4. Consider the "call to action" to create an account
5. Create solid wireframes

Functionality and Features

Project Priorities:

1. User Authentication via Database
2. Shopping List for ingredients/database
3. Recipe data via API
4. Clean UI ("top 30 recipes in under 30 mins", pictures only)

Possibilities:

• Likes/Dislikes on Ingredients
• Save/Re-Use Shopping List

Further Growth:

• Calorie counts for recipes / week / etc.
• Likes / Dislikes on Recipes pulled from the API
• Comments on recipes/ingredients visible from other users
