v2.0.0: Rebuilt and redesigned

Changelog

All notable changes to this project are documented here. The format follows Keep a Changelog and the project uses Semantic Versioning.

[2.0.0] — 2026-11-01

A full rebuild in TypeScript with tests, and a new design. Same idea, same ten vibes, same data source; your saved recipes carry over.

Added

• A visible spin: a reel runs through the candidate recipes while they load and decelerates onto the pick. It never lands in under 1.7 s and, on a slow connection, skips the landing past 2.5 s so it never feels like a hang.
• A vibe dial: ten options on a swipeable rail, with a "See all ten" grid. Built from radio inputs, so it works from the keyboard and with screen readers.
• A recipe sheet built for cooking from a phone: ingredients you can tick off with a running count, numbered steps at 18px, and Save, Print and Close pinned to the bottom edge.
• A cook-time estimate read from the instructions, shown as "under 30", "30–60" or "over 60 min", labelled as an estimate, or a dash when the recipe mentions no times.
• "Surprise me": a random recipe, re-rolled past ones you have already seen, through the same reel and card.
• An "everything seen" state: when every recipe for your ingredients has been shown, the app says so and offers to clear your history in one tap.
• After a spin the page scrolls so the whole card, buttons included, is on screen.
• A per-session cache of recipe details, so a repeat spin makes no detail requests for recipes it has already loaded.
• A 15 s timeout on every TheMealDB request, a connection-failure message distinct from "nothing found", and a note under the card naming any ingredient whose search failed.
• prefers-reduced-motion support for every animation.
• 208 unit tests across the data model, vibe engine, scoring, API layer, storage and every UI component.

Changed

• New design system: aubergine-black surfaces, one gold accent for the things you press, green for saved and checked, coral for problems; Bricolage Grotesque for names, Archivo for reading. Every value is a token in src/styles/tokens.css; see design/SYSTEM.md.
• The vibe engine reads each recipe's real instructions. Keyword and length scoring work for the first time, so vibe scores now separate recipes instead of sitting at 10 to 20%.
• The simple vibe's weights sum to 1.0, like every other vibe; it could previously never score above 0.9.
• Recipes you have already seen are left out of the pick rather than down-weighted, so every spin shows something new until there is nothing new.
• Ties are broken by matched ingredients, then name, so the same input always gives the same pick.
• Searches across four or five ingredients give each ingredient a fair share of the candidates; before, only the first three counted.
• The card says "X of Y ingredients", "N% score" and "N% vibe". Nothing is labelled "match" any more.
• Saved recipes, the seen list and recently viewed are keyed by TheMealDB id, so two meals with the same name no longer collide. Saves from v1 keep working.
• Saved recipes are capped at 50, with a message when the list is full.
• "Reset Suggestions" is now "Clear seen history", which is what it does.
• Recently viewed thumbnails are real buttons, the recipe view returns focus to whatever opened it, and printing survives a blocked pop-up.
• Recipes with no instructions say "No description available."

Removed

• The "30 mins" cook time on every recipe. TheMealDB has no cook-time data; v1 showed a constant.
• Emoji in the interface.
• The unused local recipe list and its dead code.

Fixed

• All 24 bugs listed in BUGS_RESOLVED.md, each mapped to the commit that fixed it. Among them: the vibe engine never seeing instructions, unencoded ingredient searches, the misleading "% match" figure, the broken favourites remove button, corrupt saved data crashing the page, recipe names able to inject markup, a silent crash when every lookup failed, network errors shown as "nothing found", and double spins from the keyboard.

[1.0.1] — 2026-06-14

Added

• Print recipe button in the modal with a clean print layout.
• Recently viewed recipes section with localStorage persistence.

[1.0.0] — 2026-04-26

Added

• Initial release: ingredient search against TheMealDB, ten vibes, favourites, seen-recipe tracking with reset, full-recipe modal with focus trap, accessibility audit, Open Graph image, custom domain.

v1.0.1: Quality of Life Update

What's New in v1.0.1

Two quality of life improvements based on real world usage.

Added

• Print Recipe: every recipe in the full recipe modal can now be printed with a single click. Clean, ink-friendly layout with ingredients, measurements, and numbered instructions. No images, no UI chrome, just the recipe.
• Recently Viewed: a horizontal scroll strip now appears after your first spin showing the last 5 recipes you've seen. Click any card to reopen the full recipe instantly. Persists across page refreshes.

Technical

• Print output generated via JavaScript window rather than CSS media query for reliable cross-browser support
• Recently viewed backed by localStorage with automatic deduplication and a 5 entry cap using a FIFO queue
• Horizontal scroll container with custom scrollbar styling
