Hi Tinderbox Community,
I just received my license today! I thought in order to learn the program, I would jump right in and create a meal planner. As I am brand new to the application, I would love any input before jumping in. I was thinking about the following:
* create a prototype called "menu item" with the following attributes: cuisine, time (prep+cook), url, total cost, serving size
* create a prototype called "ingredient" with the following attributes: quantity, in stock (checkbox), store
* as children of the menu items, I would have a list of ingredients and a list of directions. For the list of directions, is there a way to add "step 1, step 2 to each sibling?
* create a container called Cuisine with children such as BBQ, Italian, Mexican, etc.
* create a agent for different stores based on if something is checked
* create containers for different days of the week. . . I would drag an alias of the food for each day into the appropriate day of the week.
* create a container for past weeks for inspiration
* create a container for future weeks. . . I double recipes and I would put an alias of a menu item on a future date. Maybe it would be colored blue to indicate that it is in the freezer.
Once I have it all laid out I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them.
I know there are lots of existing tools out there, but I thought this would be a good way to learn the program and to plan more efficiently.
Thanks! Steve
