Forkcast is a self-hosted meal planner and calorie tracker focused on weekly planning, where recipes decompose into ingredients and grocery lists, with optional AI-powered recipe import and barcode scanning via Open Food Facts. It's a well-architected personal project using a hexagonal Hono backend and React PWA, but its single-user, personal-use focus limits broader applicability.

Target audience: individual users who self-host personal apps, health-conscious developers, home cooks
