Show HN: Github for Recipes
- bennyg 14y agoThis is an AWESOME idea. It needs a little design help, but this is something I would use every week before going to the grocery store, then forking and revising as I change recipes after making (which I do). In fact,I could see this getting people to make more food at home instead of eating out. Get someone with some design chops to make a badass logo, a little bit more beautiful site, and get a lot more friends/family users. Great idea dpick.
- dpick 14y agoThanks! I built it because I often use recipes from blogs but changes little things, and inevitably I forget what I changed the last time. I've been trying to convince a friend to help with the design, but he's been pretty busy lately. So if you know anyone whose interested I'm open :).
- justinmcp 14y agoHey I was thinking of doing something similar for my app [0]. Allowing users to modify recipes is an awesome direction. Everyone has their own spin on a recipe and being able to share that back is cool. You should also end up with useful normalisations, this is how many people it _really_ serves, for eg. You are also using markdown.. I went with slim (http://slim-lang.com/ http://slim-lang.com/ - "a pretty xml" in this case) for the source, but ultimately I'd like to create something markdownish but with extensions, for dinner/meal planning, unit considerations, ingredient variations, specialised tagging, etc. Something people can read and type without hassle, but is much easier to parse. Cool work, there is a lot of fun things to do in this area. [0] https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cookingpot/id586052832?ls=1&mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cookingpot/id586052832?ls=1&...
- dpick 14y agoThat's pretty much how I got to the idea, my friends on I often make the same recipes and then discuss what we changed about them. This just facilitates the conversations.
