thats funny, ya I renamed it from recipepoodle.

At its core that mostly what it is. The project forced me to get out of my comfort zone as a programmer. I picked up 2 new language/frameoworks (rails and angular), had to learn ab…

Hey cryptica. The intention of this post was not to "raise money from investors" (the service is free and I have no plans to monetize it so it would be a terrible investment). The …

Thank you for pointing this out. I was not even aware of rich snippets. I'll update the site to use this formatting as soon as I can.

you are absolutely correct, the instructions for a recipe can be copyrighted. If you use the app you'll notice that when a recipe is clipped, in order to see the instructions you w…

TIL. It's funny because one of my motivations for building this site was to have a project that allowed me to work with ElasticSearch.

I've never used CopyMeThat but I just looked through it quickly. It looks like a good app for solving a similar problem that feastgenius is solving. I think the difference with wha…

Zestful looks awesome! I'll take the chance to look into it more over the next few days. But looks like something that I would benefit from using :)

Adding recipes into my notebook was the origin of this site. I would write out the ingredients and then look up the nutrition content for each one. So the purpose of feastgenius is…

For this project, I used Spoonaculars API for clipping recipes. I would be very interested in creating my own, similar to what you did. That would give me more control over the pro…

I have not used paprika myself so unfortunately I cannot comment. But if there are any features that you would like me to focus on for the next updates of feastgenius let me know a…

Would love to see it. Please reach out to me if you do open source it.

This sounds like something I would use if it were public. It would be awesome If I could swap recipes from the plan. For example, if I didn't feel like having stir fry I could swap…

Awesome! If you want to chat feel free to reach out to me. There are some really good api's out there to help speed up the process.

Thank you! I think theres a lot of improvement that can be done in the space. Reach out to me if you want any advice on helpful api's I came across when building feastgenius. I'll …

I appreciate the feedback. I'll add it to my list of things to do in the next version of updates. How would you like to get that information, in csv format or something else? > How…

Thanks for the kind words. This indeed was a hack project that I would work on in front of the TV when I had time after work. It feels good to have it in a somewhat "showoff-able" …

️exactly. I don't have a lot of talent when it comes to front end design. Having Material kit as a starting point was a huge help for me.

Some Background: Within the last year, I started down the route of eating out less and being more conscientious of what I was cooking. Google searches are a pretty good resource fo…

If anyone else out there is like me then they probably constantly have projects that they start and never finish. I have always loved programming and have always had side projects …

I realize that there's udacity, khan academy... Etc. but, is there any sites where people can add and edit educational information, a la Wikipedia? I'm just wondering as I'm studyi…
