CheeseApp Cheeseboard Maker

Project Overview

I built this app to solve the common problem of creating well-balanced cheeseboards. When hosting dinner parties or wine tastings, it's challenging to know which cheeses complement each other and what accompaniments work best. This tool takes the guesswork out of cheeseboard planning.

Key Features:

• Smart recommendation algorithm that suggests complementary cheeses
• Real-time search and filtering of 100+ cheese varieties
• Visual pairing strength ratings (1-5 dots) for accompaniments
• Detailed cheese profiles with milk type, region, and flavor intensity
• Responsive design
• Full-stack architecture with PostgreSQL database and TypeScript

Technical Highlights:

• Custom scoring algorithm that prioritizes variety in categories, milk types, and regions
• Vue 3 Composition API with reactive data binding
• Server-side API endpoints for data processing
• Type-safe database queries with Supabase
• Modern CSS with Tailwind v4 and gradient designs

This project was inspired by my previous CheeseApp UX research project, where I explored user needs and design principles for cheese-related applications.
