Someone should make a text-only recipe search website. Recipe websites are so heavy and full of interstitials, banners, auto-play videos, and ads. Two million recipes can be easily stored in memory. (2 million * 8000 characters per recipe text ~= 16 GB of RAM.) Put a CDN in front of it and you're golden.
- gibspaulding 6y agoI would love to see this! My wife and I cook most of our meals at home, and I have yet to encounter a recipe site I don't hate. All Recipes is about as good as it gets, but only because they have a print button at the top of every recipe that takes you to a printer friendly version.
