Show HN: I made an app that makes your recipes much easier to follow (drizzlelemons.com)
1 points by Bradd3rs 734 days ago
The most annoying part for me when following recipes on my phone is having to keep scrolling back and fourth to check ingredients, then find my place in the method again. drizzlelemons gets around this by formatting any recipe into a smooth UX which carries ingredient amounts through each step, and breaks the process down into super easy to follow chunks. Would love your feedback if you're someone who cooks a lot like myself!

The inputbox with "lemon drizzle" is vertically truncated. There should be samples (eg. before & after).

This is adjacent to your idea, but what if you could input 3 recipes (main + side dishes) and it would figure out prep times and cook times (you know like the pros do... they have 6 burners going at the same time all doing different things)

I really like that idea, especially suggesting to put in your own cooker setup etc. I can certainly work on something along those lines. Thank's so much for taking the time to check it out!

The input is just an input as apposed to a text area so it won't expand. I didn't really think that was an issue but perhaps it should at least have some height to it so the user can edit their input easily. Thanks!
