re-food

Inspiration

A few days before we went to LA Hacks, we needed to throw out a bunch of rotten foods, and on the car ride down from Santa Barbara, we were inspired to make an app to limit such food waste as much as possible.

What it does

Our app takes different foods as an input and outputs a recipe! This is meant to help with people who have leftovers in the fridge from making another dish or are faced with ingredients they don't normally cook with!

How we built it

We built this app using mainly React, ChatGPT, and stable diffusion.

Challenges we ran into

None of us had much front-end experience prior to this hackathon.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were proud of our excellent teamwork and ability to finish a high quality prototype in a short time period. We were also proud of deciding to take a gamble with React since none of us had much experience with it before, and we're glad it turned out well!

What we learned

We all definitely developed out React expertise as well as familiarity with the ChatGPT API and stable diffusion concepts.

What's next for re-food

Mobile expansion! We're definitely looking to make our app more accessible and easier to use in the future through adapting our web app to a mobile application.
