πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A settings toggle to disable gamification features like streak animations and fireworks.
  2. A cross-meal search feature that allows users to pull saved meals from any time slot into the current entry.
  3. A recipe unit validation tool that flags or prevents extreme ingredient quantity inputs during recipe creation.
