Over the course of 2 weeks (8 or 9 days), we are building a recipe manager web application. We will be desigining the app by first finding problems with current solutions and discovering features we want to implement for an MVP.
The main feature, the "skateboard" to our "car", is a page scaper function that will allow users to input a URL, retrieve the recipe, and have that saved to their profile.
The first major interaction will follow this flow: Sign up -> retrieve recipe -> edit recipe -> see recipe in profile page
Once our first goal is met, we will implement the following features: A user can edit their saved recipe. A user can add their own recipe. A user can search filter their recipes based on keywords / tags A user can see the nutritional value for each recipe.
