Doesn't every recipe app do this already?
Interesting! Do you store your own recipes, or does this scrape recipies from other sites? I like the lack of ads and overall simplicity. Well done!
What's a good alternative for recipes?
Should be good for cooking recipes then.
Any chance that recipe dump is available online anywhere?
My 100++ problem with recipe sites is a useless story about how my great aunt Ellie passed this down to me from her mom,. . . Making me scroll through random stuff until I land on “ingredients.” I favor the simple site. (Ads are okay even, as long as not overwhelming.)The second feature I love here is “I have eggs, milk, flour” - would be nice to have another box where I can type in “bread” as the intended target. Or “dinner” even. Might use NLP for that.
There is a special-purpose tool for this:https://www.justtherecipe.com/which was mentioned here a while back:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42160959
