Hey CodeNewbie community 👋
I’ve been exploring beginner-friendly project ideas to sharpen my coding skills, and one fun area is working with real-world data. Food delivery apps and restaurant menus are something almost everyone uses, so I thought — why not try to replicate that in a small coding project?
For example, I started experimenting with building a simple app that lets users view Tim Hortons menu prices. It’s a great way to practice structuring data, setting up APIs, and maybe even adding features like search and filtering. I found that working with menu data can teach you a lot about JSON handling, API endpoints, and even UI design if you decide to expand it into a web or mobile project.

I recently explored building a food menu API and thought it would be interesting to compare different types of menus. For instance, the china star perryville menu has a range of items that could be structured in an API similar to what I did with Tim Hortons. Seeing how different restaurants categorize and present their menu makes it easier to design endpoints and data models that are flexible enough for multiple cuisines.
Recently I decided to pay more attention to my nutrition. Would be nice to drop a little weight. So I decided for now to cut out deliveries and eating out, until I figure out how much I need to eat to lose weight. Right now I’ve got a meal plan from the unimeal.com/ app with a subscription. Costs little, the plan is great, tailored to me, balanced. I’ve never once felt like I didn’t have enough food, I’m always full of energy, and I already see first results.
