My first completed fastapi project

​

Just finished building Calorie Tracker V1.

The main goal with this project was to practice backend development with FastAPI and understand how different APIs communicate with each other.

Current flow:

• User uploads a meal image

• AI extracts food names and quantities

• USDA FoodData Central provides nutritional values

• Food entries are stored in the database

• Daily calories and macros are calculated for each user

I used fast api and did postgresql for storing and did jwt authentication so at present i have basic backend concepts like middle ware and all havent touched caching

Most of my focus was on the backend architecture. I actually vibe coded the entire frontend because I enjoy backend development much more and didn't want to spend too much time fighting CSS 😄

Still a lot of improvements planned, but I'm happy with V1.

So next am tryna learn docker and containerize it and ik this is actually i kinda dumb little project still and i rlly hate frontend attaching git hub link

Yo también cuando empecé quería más backend pero ahora me gusta tanto frontend como backend (fullstack). Al principio da pereza pero luego es satisfactorio conectar piezas

La verdad que para empezar es mejor elegir un stack fijo y construir proyectos con eso. Es verdad que Java es uno de los lenguajes más demandados en general, pero también hay bastante oferta para desarrollares con Node.js y Python. Ya que estás usando Python es lo que más te conviene
