Forkast · weekly meal planning

Forkast is the meal planning app I built for my household. Pick the week's dinners, and it builds the grocery list for you, scaled to how much you're making and how many nights it needs to last.

How it's built

A single-page web app on Cloudflare backed by Supabase (Postgres, auth, storage and row-level security). A weekly scheduled job adds new recipes, and open copies of the app prompt when an update is ready.
