Capstone Project: One Easy Plate
I designed and built a web application that provides users who may be inexperienced in the kitchen easy access and instructions for simple, healthy and well balanced meals using just a few ingredients. This application accesses a third-party api to retrieve recipes, and allows users to store favorites for future reference. I created a wireframe, utilized Vue.js to implement a frontend interface, and Ruby on Rails for the backend database and schema.
