Bread Scheduler

I was tired of most recipe websites, which just list a bunch of ingredients and steps but provide few tools for actually helping plan your bake. Since "slow bread" requires a good deal of planning, I created a couple tools to help the process.

Features

1. The Bread Scheduler: a timeline tool that lets users customize start and end times for each steps

2. Built-in timers: Timers for each step along the way

3. Unit conversions: Easily flip between ounces and grams

4. Simple "halving": Cut the recipe in half with one click

5. Nice photos: All photos were taken by me

Starting the project

1. Download and install MongoDB (see instructions here)

2. Clone this repo

3. Run mongod to start Mongo

4. cd into client folder and run npm start

5. cd into server folder and run npm start

Stack

This was really just a test case for technology I'm interested in learning. Namely, this runs on a MEVN stack, using Mongoose, Express, Vue.js and Node.

This is the second app I've now built using this stack. It was lots of fun and helped me learn a lot about full-stack development.

Thanks

I have a number of tutorials and sites to thank. I used Lynda to get up to speed on MEVN very quickly. I must also thank Aneeta Sharma (get.aneeta@gmail.com), whose MEVN template was the basis for this project.
