Imagine you're a developer trying to make a Recipe app and everything’s going great until you try to set up environments, right? Ugh, I know. 😩 No worries, cause this is where Daytona dives in to save the day.😏

Let me spill the tea about how I used Daytona to prepare a delicious environment for developing my recipie finder project- no more messy setups !!!🤫

Tools and Setup

Alright, before we start talking Daytona spices, let’s get our ingredients listed. This is what I used to dish up this tasty app:

Frontend: React.js (Got those UI vibes,you know? 😎)

Styling: Tailwind CSS (for that extra sass 💅)

API Integration: Spoonacular API (Where we get our recipes from—yum! 😋)

Dev Tools: Daytona (The secret sauce that stirred up everything smooth as butter🧈)

Key Features of RecipeFinder 🍽️

Now let’s talk about what really make RecipeFinder stand out:

Ingredient Search: Just toss in ingredients you have and let the app give you recipes you can actually make. No more Googling and stressing over what to cook. 🤷‍♀️

Detailed Recipes: Get step-by-step instructions. No more confusing over what to actually do.😉

Favorites: Found a recipe you wanna try later? Save it—because you know you will need it. 😏

Accessibility: Whether you are on a laptop or your phone, RecipeFinder got you. 📱💻

Now, this is how i added our secret magic>>>>Daytona🤫 into the dish:

1. Install Daytona: First, I ran over to Daytona’s website and followed the install guide. 🧑‍💻
2. Then I created devcontainer.json file with the help of https://devcontainer.ai/. (Great tool by the way). I updated my repo by keeping devcontainer.json file inside .devcontainer folder.
3. Create the Workspace: Then, I made a new Daytona workspace.
