Important
The first loading is painfully slow because Veganify integrates 20 separate Spoonacular API keys for the same service to avoid hitting usage caps. Yes, it’s as clunky as it sounds. This was a necessary workaround at the time and isn't optimized.
Performance was not a priority since the sole purpose of this project was learning and experimentation. And that being said, there's no plans for speed improvement.
Veganify is a web application to discover and save vegetarian dishes and smoothie recipes using the Spoonacular API.
Previously designed in Adobe Xd, Veganify is built using the Nuxt.js framework.
This is my first experience with Nuxt, SSR, and the incredible Vercel deploying platform.
This project is a snapshot of my learning journey in 2021. While it’s not practical or performant, it represents an important milestone for me as a developer. It was a fun yet challenging experiment to explore the framework and learn the basics of building a Nuxt.js application. I hope it inspires others to keep experimenting and learning, no matter how messy the first steps may be.
