I'm a foodie, and this web application came about out of pure frustration with the big recipe websites. I got tired of recipes being reduced to font size 2 and surrounded by banner adds for viagra (nothing against viagra of course!).
So I took my families recipe scrapbook, which by the way has all these cool stories added over the years, and this became my vision.<p>If you have a moment, especially if you are also a fellow foodie, please let me know what you think.<p>deadgrandmacookies.com<p>Also, I haven't added any email authentication, so feel free to sign in with a fake password if you want see your personal scrapbook.<p>And finally, if you love it and want to know when it's ready to go, fire me an email at deadgrandmacookies@gmail.com
I see that the name has a story behind it, but most people will be seriously turned off by a website named "Dead Grandma Cookies." Definitely look into changing that.
Looks quite nice. I am always looking for new recipes. One thing I haven't seen is recipes with good photos of each step of the process. If you add that, I'll use it.<p>Regarding the name, the story resonates with me, but dead grandma still makes for a very bad name. I bet the grandma had a name....
Could you bear to increase the contrast of the light grey on white font color? And remove the long sequence of queries from the recipe URLs. Otherwise I really dig this design. The guiding arrows on the homepage are a nice, casual and inviting touch.
Love the idea! Yeah the name could use some tweaking. It's a little bit morbid and just be careful with the "grandma" part. People might remember it differently: "grandmother", "granma" etc.
cool site, digging the design!
Suggestion though - who is ever going to remember a 'recipe number', especially as the site gets bigger? I suggest you make that a search box instead, which seems needed anyway to find specific content.
