Mobile-first framing
The project is positioned around phone-friendly use, where layout, tap targets, and short decision paths matter.
Project case study
Cookr Case Study
A mobile-first cooking assistant project showing practical product thinking, public front-end development, and a New Zealand user context.
Project snapshot
A practical cooking workflow in a small web app
Cookr is an early-stage software project by John Finnerty. It is framed as a mobile-first cooking and meal-planning prototype, with source archive metadata for React, TypeScript, PWA direction, meal planning, and cooking workflows. It is presented here as project evidence, not as a claim of public adoption or commercial launch.

Mobile-first product thinking
Product problem
Make cooking decisions easier on a small screen
Cooking tools are most useful when they fit the moment: quick checks, simple choices, and clear next actions. Cookr is useful portfolio evidence because it turns an everyday workflow into a focused web application rather than a static information page.
Product-style thinking
The public asset supports a practical story about user needs, recommendation workflows, and meal-planning structure.
Technology evidence
The source archive metadata connects the project to React, TypeScript, PWA, cooking, meal-planning, and New Zealand topics.
Technical signals
What the project demonstrates
The useful evidence is the implementation reference and surrounding metadata: a project page, a source archive page, configured archive metadata, and project topics that describe the intended stack and product area.
Front-end application structure
Cookr is a web application project rather than a simple profile page, which helps show practical interface work.
Recommendation and workflow logic
The project supports a clear case-study narrative around turning food choices into guided steps.
Repository hygiene
The Source archive homepage and topic metadata are aligned, making the project easier for people and search engines to understand.
Capability evidence
Skills reflected by the project
