User-driven follow-up to Sprint 8: surface the Sprint 1-3 NeverSuggest
infrastructure on the Recipes surface so a family can pre-emptively
mark a recipe as never-suggest before it appears in a plan.
Backend (3 changes):
- POST /api/never-suggest (public, webui-facing). Idempotent on
(family, recipe, reason). Returns the row joined with recipe_name.
- DELETE /api/never-suggest/{ns_id} (public, webui-facing). Row-level
ownership check (403 if cross-family), 404 if absent.
- NeverSuggestRead.recipe_name + .ingredient_name server-side joins
via _attach_names() helper (one LEFT OUTER JOIN per kind).
- Admin path (POST/DELETE /api/admin/never-suggest) unchanged.
Frontend (4 changes):
- New NeverSuggestButton component (~290 lines). Two variants: card
(overlay on RecipeCard) and detail (text buttons in RecipeDetail
top bar). Popover with Allergy (red, window.confirm) + Dislike
(neutral, no confirm). Undo toast via showToast.undo() (Sprint 3
B12 pattern, 6s window). Pre-existing block detection shows a
Blocked state with an Unblock path.
- mealPlannerApi.neverSuggest.list/add/remove in api/index.ts.
- Recipes.tsx overlay: RecipeCard has position: relative; button is
opacity-0 group-hover:opacity-100 focus:opacity-100. e.preventDefault
+ e.stopPropagation prevents accidental navigation.
- RecipeDetail.tsx top bar: new Deny forever button group to the left
of Add to Plan.
Build: npm run build green (tsc 0 errors, vite 0 errors) on
docker-willester. Bundle 487 -> 495 kB. No new dependencies. No
migration (NeverSuggest table exists from prior sprints).
Tracking: Review/sprint10-verification.md (9-step browser smoke +
5 API curls + undo test + a11y check).
Meal Planner
Self-hosted meal planning system that integrates with Lucky California grocery store, sends weekly meal proposals via email to family members, generates shopping lists, and learns from feedback.
Background
This project was born out of frustration with meal kit services (Blue Apron → EveryPlate → HungryRoot → Sunbasket) that:
- Escalate costs to 3x ingredient markup
- Fall into repetitive meal rhythms
- Force users to log into apps to manage selections
- Don't integrate with home pantry items
Features
- Grocery Integration: Scrapes Lucky California weekly ads and sales
- Family Approval Workflow: Email proposals with approve/deny; one denial swaps the meal
- Shopping List Generation: Weekly list grouped by store aisles, highlighting sales, with interactive checkboxes to track purchased items
- Pantry Integration: Specify home items to incorporate into suggestions
- Web UI: Modern interface for the whole family
- Learning: Feedback-based meal recommendations, with weekly auto-discovery of new recipes from external APIs when family preferences are signaled
- Recipe Images: Scraped from public recipe sites, AI fallback available
- Unit Conversion: Converts recipe quantities (cups, tbsp, lb) to grocery units for accurate cost estimates
Architecture
- Backend: Python/FastAPI
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS
- Email: SendGrid
- Hosting: Docker Compose with nginx reverse proxy

Family Profile
Household: 2 adults, 2 children

- Email sent to both adults with meal previews
- One denial = meal swapped; no denials = auto-approved
- Shopping list generated after approval
