Drinkle is comprehensive recipe-development toolkit that streamlines the beverage development process, integrating each and every development procedure, from the ingredient design to the BOM generation, under one unified, visually stunning, collaboration-oriented platform. Since recipe development plays an essential role in brand identity the main application’s target are small, mediumsized companies that, within the same software, with a centralized approach, can easily manage their employees and recipes, granting custom permissions and assigning ad-hoc roles per recipe. With businesses in mind, bill of materials, recipe guidelines and menus can also be, with ease of use, exported within the same platform. In view of the fact that creating, recording and sharing recipes, at the time of this paper, represents a tedious process due to a lack of standardized norms and tools in the prosumer market sector, the software integrates a version for privates with limited functionalities that allows to visually design and share cocktail recipes in a structured easy-to-read manner.

Streamlines the beverage development process, integrating each and every development procedure, from the ingredient design to the BOM generation, under one unified, visually stunning, collaboration-oriented platform.
In order to provide a more natural user-experience, a custom card-based borderless window has been adopted with built-in custom controls and shadows. Each and every graphics and illustration has been handcrafted for the best results.
Due to the intrinsic data-driven nature of the application has been decided to adopt the Hibernate ORM along with a thin generic type-safe DAO Layer allowing to have a 1:1 table-object mapping with auto commit over data-persistance operations.
In order to provide a more modern, smooth and human user-experience a means of parallelism has been required to be implemented, running each database query asynchronously in a non-blocking fashion without blocking or freezing the UI on top of the JPAs.
As being the main goal maximizing work throughput and reducing conflicts and refactorings, during the design phase has been adopted a folder mirroring strategy along with all the common practices regarding Java, JavaFX, MVC and MySQL.
Following the research of a more natural and effective user-experience the application has been crafted with meaningful animations, transitions and micro-interactions.
All the passwords and sensitive information are encrypted to ensure user’s privacy and data safety. MD5 and SHA (SHA-2 with 32-bit words or 64-bit words) are both supported and interchangeable and both supports supplementary Salt.
The Recovery code is also encrypted and generated based upon a user-defined dictionary that defines its code pattern.
With the objective to fulfill the need for a better and more centralized way to manage views and their resources along with the goal to implement a SSOT architecture a custom ViewLoader has been implemented with the task to manages views, resources and their loading and injection process.
TLS/SSL Support
The application and moreover the Data Access Layer has also been designed to support the IETF Standard TLS from day zero, providing a secure end-to-end encrypted connection between the database and the clients.
