DeliciousCart

This is a mockup web-based application primarily focused for mobile usage but it can be used in desktop enviroments as well. This application provides the user with recipes where they can buy the ingredients directly from the app. This was developed alongside my teammates as a final project for the Software Engineering (SE) course at our university.

Key Features

• Recipe Discovery: Browse a collection of user-made recipes with instructions.
• Direct Purchasing: Select the ingredients you want to buy for a specific recipe to a shopping cart with a simple checkbox.
• Responsive Design: A clean interface optimized for both mobile and desktop screens.
• Role-Based Access: The application supports different user roles (e.g., Regular User vs. Administrator) with unique views and permissions.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Node.js, Express.js
• Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• Database: MySQL
