This development started in Early October of 2025, when one person in Java 'Help group' was searching for a help for their coursework. They had to build an App which lets users to choose a few foods and manage them into Recipies, But many helpers in the group ignored their message for days and even didn't answer to it for days. I reached out to them respectfully and I started Development after we agreed and finished it 3 days early (October 27th) until the Deadline, October 30nd of 2025. Person was pretty respectful and also greatful, but they also were busy and used to replay once per 2/4 days or so. But they have not reached out on October 30, But They replied only on November 9th of 2025, about hand-over agreement and they've said that what I have done is sufficient. I agreed on handing over, However I wanted to discuss a details, but after the last message of mine, they have not replied at all, its been 170+ days.
RecipeManager is made trough the Java SE, it uses Java Swing (in-built framework for GUI, part of the Java Fundation Classes), for Components and window that you see, it uses FlatLaf library for a Better, Modern Look & Feel to the users. Java's Sound API is involved to handle the Sounds. Action Handling/Additional Features for GUI comes from Java AWT (Abstract Window Tookit)
the app now has became mine, I still maintain it up to this day and improve it gradually. The Source code isn't being shared with them and Last Development video link which I provided to them through Mediafire is expired.
