Paprika is great, though Umami's importer is even better: https://www.umami.recipes

Umami has Chrome/Firefox extensions that you can use while on desktop, which will sync your recipes to the app. Disclaimer: I built it :)

Any thought about possibly allowing the option to self host the app sometime in the future ? That would be wonderful at least to me

[thebricklayr]

I'm open to it! Right now it runs on firebase and a unary gRPC service (nodejs). Probably firebase could be swapped out for supabase, and gRPC is easy enough to host.

Looks cool. As a cook in my fifth decade, may I humbly offer some suggestions? Im on Android and PC so perhaps not everything will apply, but here goes:

1. Import from other recipe apps.

Recipe apps and sites have a finite lifetime. Its great that you already support export, but import from others would be great. Pepperplate for example is sqlite on android. Other apps might be harder, eg the New York Times recipe box. But without import, its hard to commit to a new system.

2. Cooking mode

This is a mode that avoids that situation where you are following a recipe and need to manipulate your phone but you cant because you have hands covered in flour/chicken juice or whatever. Voice control would be awesome too: "scroll down", "set a timer for 20"

3. Notes Some place where you can comment on the recipe, like "use peanut oil not canola"

Thank you

[thebricklayr]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback.

> 1. Import from other recipe apps.

Definitely agree. A couple days ago, someone asked for a Paprika recipe importer, which I've added here: https://www.umami.recipes/paprika-import I'll have to take a look at Pepperplate and NYT recipe box (though, you can already import any NYT recipe link!).

> Voice control

Love this idea.

> 3. Notes

There is indeed a notes section! Though I'm guessing you mean inline comments, like google docs style?

[kjellsbells]

On #1, there are so many potential import sources that you probably cant do them all solo...but attacking the top few and documenting what your import format is would be a win. In short, let motivated members of the community with an itch to scratch help. Good ones could be folded into the mainline if you agree with the submitter, maybe.

On 3, notes can either be for personal use (eg in Cozi's recipe handler) or a shared conversation in a recipe (like what the NYT does). I feel the former is more important, but your users might have different opinions.

It may look better, but it's only available on iOS.

[thebricklayr]

Every iOS feature is available on web: https://www.umami.recipes/sign-in

But yes, you are right, as far as native apps go. FWIW, I just got an Android test phone so I can start on that version, should be ready in a few months.

Yeah, doesn't look like it's available on M1 macs either, which I think think is just a checkbox in the app store.

[thebricklayr]

I tried that and it was super buggy... Thankfully I built the whole thing in SwiftUI so that I can port it to Mac fairly quickly. Moving as fast as I can!

I just want to say that I really love your choice of colours and how they flow together. It's so satisfying

[thebricklayr]

Wow thank you! Fun fact: that orange color is actually part of the display-p3 color space: https://webkit.org/blog/10042/wide-gamut-color-in-css-with-d...

^ Colors in that space only just recently started getting supported by displays/browsers. And while p3 colors work in css on Safari, I had to use a single-pixel background png to make it work in Chrome.

[essentialfloss]

If you decide to port this for Android I would be super interested, it looks fantastic

[thebricklayr]

Thanks! Hopefully will have something in the next few months.
