Meal planner
Visitors select the number of days, goal, cooking time and meals, and the system builds a plan from existing recipes.

Content portal development for Recepty.mobi
A recipe platform online since 2017, now containing 1,440 recipes across 84 categories. My work focused on interactive tools that let visitors plan, calculate and use the content as a practical product.

Tools built on top of an existing content base
A large portal can do more than publish another article. Recipe data can power useful products such as a meal plan, shopping list, nutrition analyser and searchable reference tables.
Product requirement
Connect a mature recipe catalogue with functions that answer daily user questions: what to cook, how many calories it contains and what to buy.
Developed modules
- meal plans for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 14 days
- automatic shopping lists for selected dishes
- calorie and nutrition analysis
- a glycaemic index database with more than 1,000 products
- filters for goals, cooking time and excluded ingredients
- links from generated results to real recipes on the platform
Turning content into an interactive product
The main challenge is keeping the data consistent while making the workflow simple. A tool should lead to a recipe, and the recipe should support another useful action.
Shopping list
After generating a plan, ingredients are grouped by dish and can be marked as purchased.
Dish replacement
One meal can be swapped without rebuilding the rest of the plan.
Calculators
The platform includes recipe analysis, calorie, BMI and nutrition related tools.
Content data
Every result links to an actual recipe with its time, calories, servings and image.
Large catalogue UX
Categories, seasonal paths, search and tools shorten navigation across more than a thousand content items.
A three day plan with a ready shopping list
For this test I selected 3 days with breakfast, lunch and dinner. The system chose 9 dishes, displayed calories for each day and created a shopping list for the recipes. Every dish can be opened or replaced.
What can be verified
The recipe count, categories and tools can be checked without an account. This case study documents product functionality and development scope, but it does not claim traffic or revenue growth without private analytics access.
Do you run a portal, catalogue or knowledge base?
I can build a calculator, planner, search tool or another useful product based on content and data you already own.
