NO MILK Julia Buzynnik
When the world needed milk most, it vanished
Our goal was to create a solution that helps people streamline meal preparation and shopping processes. We built an app that tracks meal planning and manages kitchen inventory efficiently.
The idea was simple yet scalable, with potential for future feature expansion. Our app enables users to plan meals for the next week, adding, editing, or deleting meals as needed. Users can browse recipes and schedule them for specific days and times.
The app allows tracking pantry inventory with expiry dates and quantities. When checking a recipe, users instantly see missing ingredients and can add them to the shopping list with one click. After grocery shopping, users can easily transfer items from the shopping list to the pantry.

Technologies
We used: TypeScript, React Native with Expo, Firebase, NativeWind
React Native with Expo was ideal for cross-platform mobile development, allowing us to build for both iOS and Android simultaneously with a single codebase. TypeScript added strong typing to improve code quality and catch potential errors early in the development process.
Firebase provided a comprehensive backend solution, offering real-time database and authentication that simplified our development and ensured scalable infrastructure. NativeWind enabled rapid UI development with Tailwind-style styling, making our design process more consistent.
Challenges Faced
Our entire tech stack being new to us. Learning React Native, TypeScript, Firebase, and NativeWind simultaneously meant a steep learning curve that required intense collaboration and continuous learning. Maintaining consistency across our application was also particularly challenging.
