I don't cook often but this could be cool. But, as somebody who does not cook often, this would probably be most beneficial to me if I saw a recipe somewhere else and was able to easily bookmark it or import it. I'm not sure how legal that'd be, though, since odds are if I'm seeing a recipe it's probably from another cooking site.
Along that line of thought, perhaps make a social aspect of the site. Maybe a browse-able list of recipes based on ingredients, or type of meal. Kind of like delicious for recipes.
- templaedhel 16y agoI thought of this, as dogfooding the app to myself I found myself transcribing recipes from all recipes and other sites into the app was a recurrent task. The trouble lies in the implementation. I was thinking along the lines of a bookmarklet, but that requires either detecting ingredients and directions by looking for some sort of html structure + keywords, or allowing the user to select the ingredients on the page, both of which are no small projects.
- bobf 16y agoCould you handle that by taking a screenshot, allowing the user to crop the area with the actual recipe text, then using OCR?
