The story

Upload a photo of your grocery receipt and the backend parses out the items into a running cart. From there, two lookups: recipes you can make with what you actually bought, and restaurants that match when cooking loses the vote.

React and Mantine on the front, Flask sessions holding the cart on the back, and a clean three-step flow — receipt to groceries to dinner. Retired now, but the idea still slaps.
