Roadmap
- Introduction
- App navigation
The app is available for free on Amazon Appstore
Menu
On first launch app opens a page with a menu generated for a week. In the upper area there are two buttons: Settings
and Regenerate
. Each date is a separate tab, tabs can be scrolled. Also users can swipe left or right within the content area to navigate between tabs.
In the content area we see:
- name of the meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, supper)
- image of the meal
- clock that indicates time to prepare this meal
- name of the meal with a short ingridients list
- click on meal’s name drop downs a full ingridients list and prepare instructions
Navigation
Access to other pages is made through Navigation drawer. It has only three pages: Menu
, Settings
and Recipes
.
Settings
User can set:
- Time period - generate a menu for a day/week/month
- Repeat dishes - indicates if food is cooked in large batches and leftovers can be eaten on the next day
- Meals - how many meals per day user wants in the menu
There are four rules user can set:
- set nutrients for each meal type, e.g. only carbs for breakfast and protein for dinner, veggies for all meal types.
- set preparation time for each day, e.g. on Mo-Fr get meals with short preparation time, as you have work.
- discard some meals, e.g. every Su you have a lunch at the restaurant, so no meal is needed
- set tags for each meal type, e.g. for breakfast get only recipes with ‘breakfast’ tag, so there will be no soup so early
