Tech Stack

React
Framework7
Redux Toolkit
Appwrite Cloud
- Authentication
- Database
- Storage
Vercel

I used Appwrite Storage to store the images and retrieve the url making it easier for me to handle images, then add them to a post or recipe before storing them in their respective databases.

I utilized the Appwrite Database for storing posts and recipes, and
the Appwrite Authentication for authenticating users.

Challenges We Faced

One of the challenges I faced was storing objects in the Database because Appwrite Database doesn't support that, So I had to serialize (when storing) and deserialize them (when retrieving).

The other challenge was being able to render ingredients/instructions and make them editable on click.
