Overview

A weekly meal planning view that lets users organize their dishes across the days of the week (Monday–Sunday).

Motivation

Users often pick 5–7 favourite dishes for the week but have no structured way to assign them to specific days. This feature bridges the gap between favouriting dishes and actually planning meals.

Proposed UX

Week View

Displays a Monday → Sunday horizontal (or vertical) calendar strip
Each day is a slot that can hold one (or more) dishes
Empty days show a placeholder (e.g. + Add dish)

Assigning a Dish

Two interaction methods:

Drag & Drop (Tier-List style)
- User opens the week view alongside a dish picker (favorites, recent, search)
- Dishes can be dragged from the picker and dropped onto a weekday slot
- Visual feedback on drag (shadow, scale-up of the card)
Long Press Menu (context action)
- Long-pressing a dish in the grid/list view opens a context menu
- One of the actions is 'Add to meal plan' which shows a day picker (Mon-Sun)
- Connects to the long press menu feature (#20)

Scope / Constraints

Week resets or rolls over each Monday (or manually)
Data stored locally (Isar); optionally synced to PocketBase
Read-only visibility for partner (partner can see your plan, not edit it)
No exact time slots - day-level granularity only

Merged from #7 — preserves earlier discussion: 'We could choose one or multiple dishes for each day, dishes get automatic favorite status, show column for unselected days, shared between partner, add-to-shopping-list button for all chosen dishes, clear all button.' #23 expands this with the detailed UX (drag & drop, long press context menu, Isar local storage, partner read-only visibility).
