Its purpose is to make choosing what to cook a little easier. You select the cooking time, dish type, and ingredients, and the app finds matching recipes from its database.</p> <p>You might be wondering why I'm sharing this here.</p> <p>Honestly, I guess I'm hoping to get some feedback, useful advice, or maybe a different perspective on what I'm doing. Maybe someone will tell me that this idea is too simple and that I should challenge myself with something more serious. I'd actually appreciate that kind of honest feedback!</p> <p>For now, I'm just trying to learn, build something useful, and see how far I can take this project.</p> <p>I've attached screenshots of the screens I've implemented so far. I'd love to hear what you think! 😊<br> <a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fbmn3t1mbj7uxa8cbmqek.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fbmn3t1mbj7uxa8cbmqek.jpg" alt="The recipe app home screen with cooking time, dish type, and ingredient filters." width="577" height="1280"></a><br> <a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fuite2efycwhhn0oysr8j.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fuite2efycwhhn0oysr8j.jpg" alt="A list of recipes matching the selected filters, with cooking times and favorite icons." width="577" height="1280"></a><br> <a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fjh568ucpverovvs08jpo.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fjh568ucpverovvs08jpo.jpg" alt="Recipe details screen" width="577" height="1280"></a></p> android figma learning mobile
