User Stories

• As a user I want to know straight away what the app does on the landing page.
• As a user, I want to be offered a range of recipes to choose from for inspiration.
• As a user I want to be able to select two recipes I like the look and sound of quickly and easily.
• As a user I want to be able to quickly search through the currently existing meal plans and get a summary of their common ingredients, healthiness and average time.
• As a user I want to be able to input my dietary requirements (and allergies?).
• As a user I want to be able to see my meal plan for the week at a quick glance.
• As a user I want to have access to an easily readable shopping list covering everything I need for that week.
• As a user I want to be able to send myself a meal plan and select the number of days
• As a user I want to be able to share my meal plan via social media.
• As a user I want to be able to create a new meal plan from anywhere in the app

Our goals

• Build an app using the Express framework.
• Use a PostgreSQL database to store and retrieve your data.
• Use the retrieved data to populate a Handlebars template for server-side rendering to be displayed on the front-end.
• Include tests and set up code coverage.
• Unit tests of pure functions, and integration tests of your server routes, including tests for errors such as 404.
• Write tests for your database and use a separate test database and build script.
• Use Heroku to host the app and the database.
• Use Travis for test coverage

Our stretch goals

• Allow user to track which recipes they've made and give them a score every week of how many they've made which use common ingredients.
• Thumbs up/down rating on recipes so you do or don't seem them again.
• Share meal plan with friends and share ingredients
