A while back I had some spare time and wanted to try out nextjs and postgREST (<a href="https://postgrest.org/en/v12/" rel="nofollow">https://postgrest.org/en/v12/</a>). The results is the www.foodbatch.com website.<p>Now I don't know what to do with it.. I do use it myself, but I could have multiple subscriptions for the cost of hosting it..<p>Anyhow, it has left me with some questions. Since typical recipe sites are optimized for SEO, and this site is the anti-thesis of that. How do you actually attract traffic? Besides swallowing your pride and posting on HN.<p>Also, is there a place for sites like this in our time or should we just give it up to the LLM overlords?<p>Any feedback appreciated.
> Recipe sites are convoluted with ads and articles used for search engine optimization. We want a minimalistic way of storing the recipes that we like and want share and to be able to read from my phone while working in the kitchen.<p>Well... I understand your point of view and good intentions, but... IMO you should read this article first: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40184673">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40184673</a> / <a href="https://theluddite.org/#!post/google-ads" rel="nofollow">https://theluddite.org/#!post/google-ads</a><p>Cheers!
