A food sharing website that gives solution to people who don't want to eat alone.
The project idea came from troubles we faced in real life. Often times we found it difficult to sit down and have a nice meal with friends because everyone has different schudles, and some friends were not into certain types of food. Sometimes we desperately want to have some Hotpot or Korean BBQ, which really make no sense if you eat them alone.
So, we think why not have a platform to help those who like food but don't like eating alone, and let people enjoy food together and meet each other.

This project uses some APIs which require clinetID and API keys. For obvious reasons, we put them in an unpublished file settings.json
You can request these API credentials youself and put them in the settings.json file. You can access them in the server by using Meteor.settings.YOUR_DATA_FIELD.
After setting these up, you should be ready to use all features prodied in this project. Clone the repo, then open the terminal on the folder created and run
meteor npm install
meteor --settings settings.json
then visit (http://localhost:3000) and you should see the app running.
