The project "Knights Bites" underwent a revamp to enhance its functionality. The original idea was to utilize Yummly's API for sharing various food recipes with a feature allowing users to create an account and save their preferred recipes. The home page has been redesigned using grids and an increased variety of layout and content to create a better user experience for both registered and first-time visitors. The website also encourages users to engage with each other by reviewing, commenting, sharing, and saving recipes to foster a community within the platform.
