## What Spoonful is

Spoonful is a kitchen companion, not just a recipe search. You can discover dishes,
generate a recipe with AI, write and keep your own recipes, plan meals, log calories
and weight, build a shopping list, cook with step timers, and run one shared kitchen
with other people. The goal is a calm interface: one clear next step instead of a
noisy dashboard.

## The 9 main screens and everything they can do

### 1. Home
Quiet dashboard for the day: number of own recipes, saved dishes, calories consumed
so far, and two clear next steps (browse the library or ask the AI Chef). Quick links,
no clutter, and a getting-started path for new cooks.

### 2. Discover (recipe library)
15,000 curated recipes. Search by dish name or ingredient, filter by cuisine, cooking
time and diet, browse seasonal picks. Cards show time, difficulty and calories. Tap a
card to open the full recipe (ingredients, steps, nutrition); from there you can save
it, send its ingredients to the shopping list, or start cooking mode.

### 3. My Kitchen (recipe creation — the "Create recipe" flow)
The place where users write and keep their own recipes. This is the main creation
area of the app:

1. Open **My Kitchen** and tap the **"+" / "Create your first recipe"** button.
2. Enter a **title** and an optional short description.
3. Add the **ingredients** (amount, unit, name) one by one.
4. Add the **preparation steps** in order, plus cooking time, servings, difficulty
   and calories.
5. Add a **photo** and adjust the crop; the image belongs to the recipe.
6. **Save** — the recipe is stored in My Kitchen and is private by default.
7. Edit it at any time; the editor keeps ingredients and steps structured.
8. Optionally **share** the recipe with the household or publish it to the community
   feed (title, description, ingredients, steps, image and chosen name become visible
   to others; comments, photos, likes and ratings can follow).
9. From a saved recipe, send ingredients to the shopping list or open **cooking mode**
   with timers.

Recipes generated by the AI Chef can be **saved into My Kitchen** and then edited,
photographed and shared exactly like hand-written ones — so AI output becomes a
permanent, personal recipe instead of a one-off chat answer.

### 4. AI Chef
Recipe generation from what you already have. Type ingredients, tap quick suggestions,
choose dietary options (e.g. vegetarian, vegan) and chef options, then generate. It
also works from leftovers or a video link. Free users get **3 generations per day**;
moderators are unlimited; the daily quota is shown in the header. Results can be saved
to My Kitchen or sent to the shopping list. AI output and nutrition estimates are
generated automatically with openai/gpt-4o-mini via OpenRouter and are **not medical
or nutritional advice**; no AI API keys live inside the app.

### 5. Saved
A private shelf for bookmarks: library recipes, community posts and personal notes in
one place. Tabs for **All saved** and **Favorites**, personal **collections** (e.g.
weeknights, guests), search, and a direct jump to the shopping list from any card.

### 6. Tracker
Daily nutrition without a noisy page. Log a meal from a recipe, manually, or with the
**barcode scanner**. Folders stay collapsed until opened. Shows macros, remaining
calories, a seven-day chart, water journal and weight journal, plus a planner with
BMR and TDEE calculation. Calorie, weight and profile data may be health data and are
stored only for the user; entries can be deleted at any time.

### 7. Shopping
An offline-first shopping list: add items, tick them off, import ingredients from a
recipe (automatically deduplicated). Lives on the device first, syncs in the
background, can be shared with the household, shows open and done counts. Still works
without a connection.

### 8. Community
Home cooks sharing real dishes. Search recipes, cuisines and chefs, filter, open a full
post. Like, rate, comment, add result photos, follow a cook. Two feeds: **New** and
**For you**. Report and block functions for moderation; shared content is public and
moderated.

### 9. Household
One kitchen for several people: invite members with a code or QR code, see who is
cooking in real time, share the shopping list, keep a week plan, pantry, tasks and
notes. Members and roles are managed on the server.

## Other features

- **Recipe translation** — shared recipes can be displayed in other languages.
- **Cooking mode** with timers for the steps.
- **Reminders** for meals, planning and household tasks.
- **Accounts** — sign-up and login with password, 8-digit e-mail code (valid one
  hour), or password-reset code. Data export ("Export my data") and permanent
  account deletion ("Delete my account") in the settings.
- **Magnetic UI (native Android app)** — the magnetometer (X/Y/Z in µT) detects a real
  magnet held near the phone; buttons, cards, arrows, dots and the language switcher
  are pulled toward it with spring physics and snap back elastically when the magnet
  is removed. A calibration baseline (median of the first ~1.4 s) is subtracted;
  |ΔB| > 40 µT means a magnet, full pull at 320 µT. Sensor data stays on the device.
  Without a magnetometer the same effect follows touch (or the mouse on desktop), and
  reduced-motion disables it.
- **Interactivity on the website** — a phone simulator shows all 9 screens; the 3D
  logo can be dragged; language switcher for all 16 languages; waitlist with live
  counter; cookie banner; legal pages (imprint, privacy, terms, cookies).
