Hello Dev Community!
I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: Reverse Recipe.
The Problem:
We’ve all been there—you find a great cocktail recipe online, only to realize you’re missing one specific liqueur or a fresh ingredient. Most search engines work the wrong way; they show you what you could make if you had everything.
The Solution:
I wanted to build a "reverse" engine. You input exactly what’s in your cabinet, and the app tells you what you can mix right now.
Core Features:
Pantry-First Logic: Matches your specific ingredients against a database of 600+ classic and modern recipes.
Swipe Interface: I replaced the traditional list view with a card-swipe discovery mechanism. It makes finding your next drink feel much more engaging.
AI Ingredient Swaps: If you're 90% there, the AI suggests smart substitutions (e.g., using honey syrup instead of simple syrup) so the party doesn't have to stop.
Bilingual Support: Full English and Turkish support.
Live Demo: https://tersinetarif.com/
This started as a side project for my Master’s in Marketing Communication, focusing on how to simplify complex search logic with a minimal UI. I’d love to get your feedback on the swipe performance and the ingredient matching logic!
Thanks for checking it out!
