- Upload photos associated with recipes
- View an index of all recipes
- View individual recipes
- Annotate any step of any recipe
- Search for recipes, accounting for user errors like spelling
- The back end is built on Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL.
- The front end is built using React and Flux.
- Authication is handled by bcrypt.
- The Cloudinary API and upload widget to allow uses to upload recipes images that are stored in the cloud.
- The Fuse.js JavaScript library adds a robust fuzzy search feature that accounts for user spelling errors.
- Active Record nested attributes allow users to create an unlimited number of steps without making additional AJAX requests, speeding up the app considerably.
