Been working on a calendar scheduling app that uses a constraint solver to auto schedule events based on scheduling constraints (time of day preferences and requirements, recurrence rules), and track goal progress (are you slipping on your desired progress velocity? Get a notification). It’s also a meal planner: from a corpus of thousands of good, healthy recipes, schedule a meal plan that reuses ingredients nearing expiration, models your pantry, estimates grocery prices, meets your nutritional goals. Constraint solvers are black magic.
