AI Powered Meal Planning App

Hi HN! I've been teaching myself to code for the last year or so and am pleased to launch my first (small) product into the world. Mealll uses the Anthropic API to generate meal plans for users. It allows them to select their required nutrient requirements, dietary requirements and food preferences. It then creates a customised weekly meal plan and shopping list for them. I've included a simple nutritional requirements calculator for users who might be unsure of their nutritional needs. Once users have created a meal plan, they can generate recipes for any of the meals that they're unsure how to cook. It's been a lot of fun learning to work with the different models available from Anthropic. I've found sonnet to be a great middle ground for the creation of the meal plan outline and ingredients. I'm currently using the haiku model for the generation of recipes. The big dream for this product is to help everyday people who lack the skills and knowledge to eat healthily eat more nutritious home cooked meals. For now just a couple of users would be great! I've got lots of ideas of how to improve the app but wanted to get it in the hands of users and see if this is something that can help them.
