Technical Report: Foodie
Liam Barkley · TRAP@NCI (National College of Ireland) · 2016
The main objective of this project is to provide a platform for its users to become more knowledgeable about what recipes they could create, which include or incorporates specific ingredients chosen by them. Users have the ability to include up to 5 different ingredients they wish to find a recipe for and they also have a further choice of excluding up to two specific ingredients that they do not wish to see in any recipe. Aside from building recipes, the user will be welcomed with a social network of foodies that can interact with each other by uploading pictures of what they’ve made to the ‘Food Feed’, and making new friends by sending them a friend request. Furthermore, the user will be allowed to comment and like their friends pictures as they will have a separate feed of only their friends activities. In addition to the recipe making side of the platform, the user will have the option of doing no cooking and clicking on the geolocation enabled map and finding a nice restaurant or takeaway near their location.
