Foodster

Foodster is the solution we want to provide to the problem of high time, financial, and mental energy costs required to optimize our dining experiences. Through data science techniques and software engineering, we try to utilize the abundant literature on dieting that is available on the internet, and package it into a digestible and time efficient user experience. Foodster is structured in a client server architecture, where the client is a light Flutter application with all the significant computation and data storage responsibilities delegated to the server which runs on Heroku and uses MongoDB to store the recipe and user data. The rest of our software suite is our data processing pipelines consisting of trained ML models, scraping modules, and price estimation modules.
