Little Green Spoon

Little Green Spoon is a recipe app with two types of users (free and premium). We created an admin dashboard that allows for our client to upload recipes regularly.

Product Summary

The recipes that are uploaded into the app can be labelled as either free or premium. All users have access to free recipes. Users who pay a monthly subscription get access to all recipes that have been uploaded. All users have the ability to add recipes to their ‘Favourites List’ which is stored locally. 

Adding any recipes here also provides the user with the option to add to a customised shopping list of all ingredients required. Users can mark items off this list via checkboxes or clear it at their will.

Platforms

iOS, admin

Technical Desc:

This is a native iOS (swift) application. 

While starting a subscription is handled by the app, all other aspects of the payments for this app are handled directly by Apple as ‘in app purchases. 

Firebase is used as the backend. This system is utilised to handle such items as app statistics (for the admin) and sending notifications to the user base when new recipes have been uploaded to the app.

Technical Setup:

– The mobile aspect of this platform is developed using Swift.
– The web side of this platform (The admin dashboard) was developed using HTML/CSS.

Interesting Notes

The homepage uses a moving carousel of highlighted recipes selected by the admin. 

Premium users’ shopping lists can be printed via a print to PDF function.

Along with only seeing a snippet of detail for premium recipes, users with free accounts are unable to create shopping lists or add items to their Favourites page.
