Sprint 12 (commit 11b4595) wires the "Search the web" toggle on
/recipes to Spoonacular complexSearch, with a per-result Import
button that pulls the full recipe info (1 point) and writes a
local Recipe row. No pre-existing WIP files touched.
This commit updates the 6 running docs that track the sprint:
- .agent/plan.md — Sprint 12 section (S12.1-S12.5) added.
- .agent/context.md — Sprint 12 (D1-D9, Q1-Q3) added; file:line
references; key takeaways.
- Review/sprint12-verification.md — new file: 4-step browser
smoke + 2 API curls + quota test + a11y check + 5-risk table
+ future work section.
- Review/ui-nielsen-audit.md — Sprint 12 status block (T6.1-T6.5)
at the top, after the Sprint 11 block.
- fix-ui-audit.md — Sprint 12 section (T6.1-T6.6) added after
the Sprint 11 section, including the D-fix for the 5
pre-existing tsc errors.
- Review/handoff-ui-audit.md — Batch H added to the deploy
instructions; Sprint 12 section added after Sprint 11; TL;DR
table row 12 added; Last-updated footer updated.
- docs/HANDOFF.md — Sprint 12 section added after the Sprint 11
section, with a D-fix paragraph and a path-forward paragraph
for F9.
All 6 docs now reflect Sprint 12. §Future backlog remaining: F9
(Ollama local LLM) — a full backend proposal that plugs into the
same handleGenerateFirstPlan (Sprint 11) + recipe_search.import
(Sprint 12) seams.
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
