Slop Bowl

Mobile-first vegan meal-prep generator. Configure goals, sauces, and proteins; generate weeks of bowl plans; get a shopping list scoped to week 1; keep a persistent pantry.

Fully client-side — no npm, no bundler, no build step. Vanilla ES modules, web components, Tailwind (vendored browser build in vendor/tailwind.js), localStorage persistence.

Run

Serve the repo root with any static file server, e.g.

python3 -m http.server

or point Caddy at the directory. No server-side logic.

How it works

• Goals (high protein, high fibre, 500–700 kcal, travel safe, eat cold) are toggles in Config. Kcal/travel/cold filter the bowl pool; protein/fibre weight the scoring.
• Generation samples hundreds of candidate weeks of (bowl, protein) pairs — protein choice changes the macros — then selects in three stages: keep weeks near the best protein+fibre totals, among those maximise micronutrient diversity (food-group coverage via MICRO_GROUPS, with a rotation penalty against repeating last week's bowls), then tie-break on fewest new shopping items (pantry items count as free). Bowls may repeat up to 3× per week.
• Persistence is localStorage behind js/storage.js (slop-pantry, slop-config, slop-plan). The adapter is async so it can be swapped for a network API later without touching the rest of the app.
