A meal planner for a family, my final-year project.
Sign-up, onboarding, family setup, allergies, meal calendar and a recipe. Mock data.
The problem
A professor wanted a meal planner for his family. The starting specification was fixed: we had to follow it. After that, the freedom to innovate beyond it.
The decisions
Tokens signed with RSA
Trade-off: The signature is checked with a public key, and the private key stays safe. Downside: generating and distributing keys is done by hand.
A dedicated certificate for the Spoonacular API
Trade-off: The HTTPS connection goes through a certificate imported by hand. Downside: a manual step to repeat on every machine.
The architecture
Solid line: always called. Orange: the manual step, a certificate to import on every machine.
