Chef Suggest

Chef Suggest is a meal suggestion app I created for my mom because she had a hard time figuring out what to make every week. It was originally a Python desktop application made using PyQt5, but I then migrated the codebase to Kotlin using the Swing library. I switched to Kotlin because I wanted to also create an accompanying Android app. Below is a demo of the desktop app.

I also created an Android application using the Jetpack libraries, primarily Jetpack Compose, to serve the same purpose. I was originally planning to have a single codebase for both the desktop and mobile version using Compose Multiplatform. However, since my mother's computer broke, it didn't make sense to invest the time and effort. Since I created it much later, the Android app has a much more modern-looking user interface and is more fully featured. I did remove the ability to edit meals in app, since my mom said she didn't use that feature. Instead, the meal data is fetched from a Google Sheets document which can be fetched statically as a TSV file. Currently, there is one one column, but more can be added in the future if necessary. Below is a demo of the mobile app.
