PatchBowl is a mobile application designed for planning potluck meals within a neighborhood. Users can create events and assign dishes by food type, such as mains, sides, and desserts. The app helps to balance the selection of dishes across these categories to ensure a variety of food. Users can also view which dishes have already been selected to prevent duplicate recipes at gatherings. Each dish slot can be filled with a specific dish name and assigned to a participant. The app allows users to edit or remove dishes as needed. Users can send invitations to participants to join the potluck event. Additionally, users can browse through past events to reference previous dish selections.
