Hey I was thinking of doing something similar for my app [0].<p>Allowing users to modify recipes is an awesome direction. Everyone has their own spin on a recipe and being able to share that back is cool. You should also end up with useful normalisations, this is how many people it _really_ serves, for eg.<p>You are also using markdown.. I went with slim (<a href="http://slim-lang.com/" rel="nofollow">http://slim-lang.com/</a> - "a pretty xml" in this case) for the source, but ultimately I'd like to create something markdownish but with extensions, for dinner/meal planning, unit considerations, ingredient variations, specialised tagging, etc. Something people can read and type without hassle, but is much easier to parse.<p>Cool work, there is a lot of fun things to do in this area.<p>[0] <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cookingpot/id586052832?ls=1&mt=8" rel="nofollow">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cookingpot/id586052832?ls=1&...</a>
This is an AWESOME idea. It needs a little design help, but this is something I would use every week before going to the grocery store, then forking and revising as I change recipes after making (which I do).<p>In fact,I could see this getting people to make more food at home instead of eating out.<p>Get someone with some design chops to make a badass logo, a little bit more beautiful site, and get a lot more friends/family users. Great idea dpick.
