I built it mainly to scratch my own itch out of frustration with recipe blogs and their endless stories and photo collages before they get to the point where they actually tell you how to make the recipe.
It seems a pretty common complaint, so I thought other people might be interested. I added a subscription because I don't like ads and tracking and everything that goes with that. A few people have signed up but, so far they all cancelled before the end of the free trial. I get a lot of use out of it though, so I'm pretty happy with that. It's cheap to run and gives me something to tinker with now and again.
Nice — in a similar realm I made kcal[0] to scratch a very specific itch for myself and my spouse. Our diet is mostly plant based but we both also do a lot of weight training and running so we needed something for close tracking of macros. It’s maybe 75% finished but takes care of all our needs with some quirks so it’s slightly neglected now.
Working on adding it! I want users to be able to upload pictures, but that creates a host of problems with moderation and everything.
Recipes you can copy, because they’re not copyrightable, but images are, so just scraping them from other sites is really not ok. Cooking 18000 recipes and taking pictures myself is also not going to work. So, yeah. I totally get the desire for pictures though.
