Show HN: 7courses recipe manager, updated.
Awhile back I launched http://7courses.com on here to get some preliminary feedback. The reception was positive, but there were a few issues that had to be addressed. Mainly, the font, and the lack of a normal user system (limited to openID logins). This has been changed, along with a whole ton of other features which may or may not be immediately apparent. Either way, I think this project has come a long way, and hope you can find some use from it.

7courses is a central place where you can store and collect all your recipes. Say goodbye to recipe boxes, dough covered printouts and scribbled page numbers. See a recipe you like? Jot it down instantly on 7courses.
7courses was built around the idea that you should be able to choose how you want to organize your recipes, and doing so should be easy and quick. The UI is responsive and intuitive, with a no frills design. Just jump right in and start adding recipes. The design is mobile optimized, so it will work from your mobile device.
Please feel free to provide critique and suggestions.

- silent1mezzo 16y agoGreat UI, I like how easy it is to create recipes. Have you thought about allowing users to import recipes from popular sites? I'm working on a web app similar to this one but with a different focus than just storing recipes.
- templaedhel 16y agoI have indeed thought about that. I was thinking a bookmarklet to allow adding ingredients and steps by clicking on any website, using some dom parsing to find LI's and stuff, but the site needed to get done first. I would be interested in hearing about your project, email admin at 7courses dot com
- sagacity 16y agoNice work. Check: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2225761 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2225761 This offer is available to you as well. :-) (BTW, silent1 mezzo's [DinnerPlanner.net] promos are already running on 3 of these sites. Also, I think you two should seriously consider a strategic alliance, at the minimum.)

- atgm 16y agoIt's neat... but there are probably two things I'd personally want in a recipe storage site that would make me switch from using a drafted e-mail in gmail. 1. A way to download all of my recipes for backup. 2. A simple way to convert between metric and imperial.
