This submission presents Ville de Cuisines, a platform for all creative chefs and lovers of a good lunch.

Overview of My Submission

When I started the project, I only wanted to build a small diet tracker for my GF and myself*. But I quickly got carried away with the features and functionality I could build on this beast of a backend.

Ville de Cuisines aims to be a social network for gourmets. You can freely browse through all public resources created by its members. After creating your account, you can also:

• contribute public recipe categories and ingredients
• store your private and public recipes
• refine other people's recipes (equivalent to Github's fork, just with food)

and much more.

Here are a few impressions.

View and update your profile

Maintain your personal chef profile. You can maintain other social media channels and generate followers.

Create your own recipes. Or refine those of your fellow chefs

You can use Markdown syntax to maintain recipe's preparation steps

Publish your recipe creations

If you make your recipes public, other chefs can create their own variations. Remember: Sharing is caring.

You can find more example in the Github repository or by visiting the demo ☺

About The Project

Ville de Cuisines translates to 'City of Kitchens' from french. It is my submission to the dev.to Appwrite Hackathon. I built it for my girlfriend and myself to make diet planning (more) fun. I also added a few social components to make it more engaging.

Sadly, I was not able to implement all the features during the time of the hackathon. I still hope you'll find it entertaining 🤠

I learned a lot about Appwrite in this hackathon. And a lot of other JS concepts, especially clientside caching. Thank you so much for hosting this event, you guys built a fun and easy to handle product.
