ChefyChef - Smart Meal Planner
_
Moves
01 · Estimate the Clock
Auto-estimates each grocery item's expiry from its category when you don't set one, from 2 days for seafood to 180 for pantry staples.
02 · Rank, Don't Just List
Scores all 79 recipes by matching ingredients to what's on hand (exact match first, fuzzy match second), weighting by urgency and penalizing what's missing.
03 · Recalculate Live
Re-ranks the whole recipe list automatically as items get logged, used, or move closer to expiry.
04 · Split the Data Honestly
Kept groceries private to each visitor's own session while treating the recipe catalogue as one shared, read-only set everyone draws from.
Outcome
A live meal planner at chefychef.lovable.app covering American, Italian, Asian, regional Indian, Mediterranean, Mexican, Thai, and Middle Eastern recipes, with a color-coded inventory view and a scoring formula that stays explainable, not a black box.
Role & scope
Solo, end to end: data model, ranking algorithm, and deployment are all one person's build.
