Engineered a native Android application combining offline grocery checklist management, nearby supermarket routing using OpenStreetMap Overpass API, and dynamic recipe suggestions.
The Challenge: Combating Food Waste Through Smart Shopping
Shoppers often buy ingredients without a clear meal plan, leading to household food spoilage. Mijotons bridges the gap by suggesting recipes tailored specifically to the items currently in the user's cart or pantry.
Native Mobile Architecture
Developed in Java with the Android SDK. Features a local SQLite database for instant offline access and asynchronous HTTP queries to the OpenStreetMap Overpass API for real-time supermarket coordinates.
