干饭魔法书: A Decision Ritual for Dinner
A Chinese product case study and interactive prototype for deciding what to cook when “whatever” has become a daily problem.
- For
- People tired of deciding what to cook
- Worth noticing
- The prototype uses 14 structured recipes and filters them by mode, taste, dietary restrictions, and available constraints.
Field notes
The portfolio frames dinner as a repeated decision problem rather than a recipe-discovery problem. Its central interaction draws a constrained set meal after users choose a mode, while supporting screens cover ingredients, substitutions, nutrition, and cooking steps. The documented system also includes experience points for saves and check-ins, a weekly menu with shopping-list aggregation, and a feedback workflow whose states run from unread through adoption.
