Maybe not the most pertinent place for me to share my recipe site project (as it uses a model for reformatting recipe structures), but by rehashing recipes into recipe cards it incidentally but effectively removes the fluff: https://gobsmacked.io


original blog post: damnit I write these recipes for humans, not for robots

you: hey check out the robot I built that reads other people's recipes and reformats them

yeah maybe a little bit tacky, dude


Writing recipes for humans doesn’t really mean anything if the humans don’t want your ad infested garbage.


The original blog post doesn’t have any ads.


I agree wholeheartedly - in fact the css class I actually use for the 'notes' column is MEP, for mise en place. That was the original intent for that column but it has become something of a catch all over time. I wonder if a mise en place component at the top of the recipe, in a separate grid, would be useful?


Would be happy to discuss! Shoot me an email so I can understand a bit more, email can be found on my site in my bio or on gobsmacked!


Thank you for the note! I appreciate the feedback and will test out some bigger sizing, as well as check out the recipe saving.


Thank you! I agree completely. Right now it just uses the units in the original recipe, but being able to toggle between the two is definitely something I would like to do.



I like this execution! I created something similar, www.pigeon.ooo, with the intent of eventually adding some scheduling functionality but alas, my own schedule has filled up so have not had a chance yet.


beautiful domain name


"Probably not used by anyone at these companies" got me, lol


For a second I missed the irony here, genuinely thought to myself 'wow that would be awesome'. Just joined my first fantasy league so I am gung-ho on fantasy now, apologies.


I'm still missing the irony here.


You "supposedly" already choose your representatives.


I wonder how many layers of irony we can get here.


Ah I love this ask HN!

I'm building an iMessage app (www.pigeon.ooo - nothing here yet, I just get a hoot out of the name) that brings note taking into iMessage. I built it because I wanted to be able to save/pin messages so that I wouldn't have scroll up to find important pieces of info. You can also share the lists directly through iMessage so that the others in the conversation can update the notes, which has been particularly useful for grocery shopping lists and weekly planners with my S/O.

Currently working on a companion app so that I can view all notes not segregated by conversation, or ordered by due date etc.

It hasn't been publicly released yet but it will definitely be net negative. Doesn't matter though because it's useful to my friends and I plus has been fun to build.


You should add a clickable link. Also, it seems to just lead to a placeholder page as though it was just registered.

http://www.pigeon.ooo


Thank you! I would do if it wasn’t just the place holder page. I just like the domain name we chose, I have clarified in the original comment.


Is www.pigeon.ooo a typo? Doesn't seem to go anywhere


Nope! Nothing there yet, I just get a kick out of the domain and wanted to share it, even if a bit premature.
