Drinksly - A Starbucks secret menu app

Drinksly is a Starbucks secret menu app that came to be after I had so many people come to the Starbucks that I work trying to order by showing me pictures, TikTok videos, and even showing me Instagram post of drinks. I wanted to make it easier.

Hello, all! I decided to make this companion app after I had so many people come to the Starbucks that I work trying to order by showing me pictures, TikTok videos, and even showing me Instagram post of drinks. It was hard to make out the text in pictures and a lot of times the people creating these drinks didn't even know how to order the drinks themselves. I decided to take on the challenge and allow myself to learn SwiftUI. In the research process I found many apps that did the same thing; however, they were all outdated and not so "iOS" looking - think Android. Some of them were so bloated and ad-ridden that you had to share the app to friends just to see the recipe. I understand we all want to make money but this just took away from the experience. Not to mention that they charged you $3 for a pro version that had NOTHING different from the free version. I hope that y'all find this fun, useful, and maybe even inspires you to create your own apps. My problem was that ordering wasn't simple and sometimes was anxiety inducing. I tried to bridge the gap between simplicity and fun, and scary and taxing. This is the only Starbucks secret menu application that you'll need on your phone.
