YummyApp is a recipe management app that allows users to create recipes, search recipes, save recipes to personal collections, and generate a handy shopping list for selected recipes. I used to use gsheet for managing recipe collections. Not any more! I have enjoyed building and using the YummyApp along the way. Say goodbye to gsheet for recipe collections and Give my yummyapp a try! --I take feature request, build commonly requested features, and deploy them for users!
- Languages: Python, Javascript(AJAX, JSON), HTML, CSS, SQL

- Carousel card slides were implemented for convenient browsing.
- On top right corner of each recipe card, there is a heart-shaped save/remove button. After user logs in, all recipe cards in homepage or search returned page or browse-by returned page will have a filled heart button (already saved by user) or unfilled heart button (not saved by user yet) on top right of recipe card. Click the save/remove button (toggle between two save/remove) to save a recipe to users' recipe collection or remove it from users' recipe collection.
- At Saved page, it displays # of recipes a logged in user have saved and all saved-recipe cards with a remove button on the top right of each recipe card.
- Users can adjust serving size. Quantity of each ingredient on page will be adjusted to the updated serving size.
- logged in user can add all ingredients to shopping list.
- logged-in users can see recipes that they have added to shopping cart. Each recipe card displays the shopping servings of the recipe.
- A shopping list is generated for all recipes in cart. Shopping serving size of each recipe is used to generate shopping list. The quantity of the same ingredient from all recipes in card will be summed together if same unit is used or bundled together to the same line in shoppling list.
- Users can click the ingredient to show/hide its associated recipes!
