Vegcom • Vegan & Vegetarian Recipes Platform
A full-stack platform that blends community, plant-based cooking, and fun.
The Challenge
Most recipe sites treat plant-based cooking as a niche. I wanted to build something that felt purpose-built for it — with real search and filter tools, personal profiles, and a community feed that wasn't tacked on.
The Solution
Next.js 15 frontend, NestJS backend, Prisma + PostgreSQL. The recipe system has advanced filters, favorites, and rich text creation. Profiles have personality. There's a Gemini-powered AI chat and Stripe wired in for a future premium tier.
Key Features
- Recipe creation with rich text, image upload, and drag-and-drop step ordering
- Advanced search with filters by meal type, prep time, difficulty, and category
- User profiles with published recipes and saved favorites
- Community feed with posts, nested comments, likes, and saves
- Gemini AI chat with per-session conversation history
- JWT auth with Axios interceptors
- Stripe checkout and subscription management
- Notification system with unread count polling
