Nice!

It is clear you put a lot of care into this, and I am sure there is a bucket full of features you want to get to, but I have a big request.

What I really want is one step beyond a place to store recipes. I want a meal planning site! I want to create a pool of recipes that we like, and plug in how often this week we will eat at home. Then outcomes a grocery list and a plan for each day. Maybe it even sees what we have liked, and suggested new recipes to add to the pool.

I am this close to pulling the trigger on PlateJoy, but my biggest hurdle is I can't add recipes I _know_ we like to their list of experimental (to us) meals.

Really, I don't mind/enjoy cooking, but never seem to carve the time out to plan an entire family of four's meals a week in advance.

Hey I'm also working on this (separate from OP). In the meantime you might check out https://www.eatthismuch.com/.

Thanks for the mention - I started ETM with a similar goal in mind. We have a "personalize this recipe" function that's functionally similar to forking, but we never expanded on it much. We're planning to improve the social and browsing features eventually, but have some other priorities to get to first.

Also, cinc looks really nice - awesome work OP

I forgot about ETM! Thanks for creating it. Just logged back in and there was a friendly note about the new features (really good idea!). FYI there's one bug on the page:

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

This looks like exactly the kind of thing I've been searching for; thank you for the recommendation.

I've given ETM a go for a year (I was a paid member) but the ingredients were very hard to find in Germany so I gave up in the end.

Maybe an ingredients.json instead of a package.json, sub versions with quantities, and then this becomes a constraint solver!

Check out https://www.copymethat.com/ - has a great recipe import system, meal planning system complete with a shopping list generator, great view of the recipe while you're making it, it's been awesome for us.

already in the works :)

Great! Do you plan on open-sourcing? Anyway for me to help, even if it's feedback?

[keithasaurus]

Always happy to have feedback! The initial version will be rolled out in the coming weeks. Since it's a major product addition, there'll be some sort of announcement. So either sign up and you'll get a wonderful mass email notification soon. Or circle back in a few weeks.

Some aspects of the site are open sourced:

https://gitlab.com/keithasaurus/simple_html -- basically a port of Elm Html to Python to address what I perceive to be flaws of template rendering.

https://bitbucket.org/cinckitchen/kunits -- just a unit library I wrote. It's central to the site's scaling, etc.

That's a practice that will continue. But the full source will likely not be made public.
