Show HN: Turn any recipe into 2-player mode (nommer.ai)
4 points by gghootch 8 days ago
Hi HN!

Me and my gf both love cooking, but for some reason cooking together always becomes a frustrating mess for both of us. When talking with friends about this, we discovered that many share this experience. What seems like a romantic date night opportunity always results in a more challenging dynamic than we'd all like.

So we decided to build an app that turns any recipe we upload into 2-player mode.

For us the app massively improves the cooking together experience by removing coordination friction. It basically allows each individual to focus on their own tasks: one cuts the onions, the other grates the carrots and then makes the sauce while the first grills something in the pan; and then it all comes together in the end.

The app is also of huge help when we're both too tired and don't feel like cooking: by spreading the workload cooking becomes a much lighter effort for both.

If that sounds appealing please do try it out!

congrats on the launch! the app is looking fantastic, can't wait to try this app together with my wife
Thank you!! Please post here to share what you think about it when you've had a chance to try it!
If my experience of playing Overcooked is anything to go by this may well result in bloodshed
If so that'd be great product feedback too :D!

In all serioiusness: in my experience the outcome is sort of the opposite of Overcooked. A genuinely tranquil cooking-together experience!
