CheatBite is not another clunky, standard calorie counter. It is a modern, specialized tool designed to help users strategically manage their "cheat meals" while staying on track with their nutritional goals. Featuring a sophisticated, fluid user experience and an AI-driven assistant, CheatBite turns macro management into an interactive experience.
✨ Say Goodbye to the "Old Preference Hustle" Unlike traditional fitness apps that bury settings deep within multi-layered menus, CheatBite keeps the user in flow. All critical information—from profile information and dietary preferences ("Veg vs. Non-Veg") to your unique weekly diet plan—can be updated directly from the profile dashboard. This highly interactive, friction-free design ensures your plan adapts to your life instantly, without requiring navigation marathons.

CheatBite’s design isn't just aesthetic; it's functional art.
- Glassmorphism & Glow: The app utilizes a sophisticated visual language of blurred glass layers, translucent borders, and soft gradients to create a distinct, modern depth.
- Fluid Gestures: From the horizontal avatar pager to the unique angular text rotation (engineered with fixed pivot points), every element is designed to feel tactile and fluid.
- Micro-Interactions: The UI is alive with small animations, loading states, and contextual color changes (like the red/green shifts based on diet preference), ensuring the user always knows what is happening.
CheatBite is built on the foundation of the modern Android Ecosystem, demonstrating an advanced mastery of architecture, concurrency, and security.
- Jetpack Compose: The entire UI is built natively in declarative Compose, showcasing custom complex layouts, graphic layers, and high-performance list management (
LazyColumn). - MVVM Architecture: Strict separation of concerns is maintained. The ViewModel handles complex business logic, manages application state with
MutableStateFlow, and maps raw data to UI-friendly formats. - Kotlin Coroutines & Flow: Asynchronous operations, database transactions, and network calls are handled seamlessly off the main thread, ensuring a smooth, butter-like scrolling experience.
- collectAsStateWithLifecycle: Advanced lifecycle awareness ensures the UI only consumes resources when it is active.
- Koin Following "Modern Android Practices" Koin is implementated for DI.
- Firebase Authentication: Powers the passwordless Gmail sign-on.
- Firebase Firestore: A scalable, real-time NoSQL database handles user profile data, weekly diet plans, and the entire Snack Sensei history with complex, mapped data objects.
- Security (Gitignore): The repository demonstrates security best practices by rigorously hiding the
google-services.jsonconfig file via.gitignore. - R8 / ProGuard Optimization: The release build is fully optimized, utilizing strict
TypeToken,model,dto, andmapper"keep" rules to shrink the APK size and secure the code while keeping the reflection-based data layer intact.
