neat idea! A weird piece of feedback: Something about the UI gives me a substantial feeling of loneliness.

Odd, but I felt the same... it looks nice, its clean, and easy to read... but I didn't get the same excitement to cook as I do with say Serious Eats (example: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2017/05/new-orleans-style...)

Nice! It is clear you put a lot of care into this, and I am sure there is a bucket full of features you want to get to, but I have a big request. What I really want is one step beyond a place to store recipes. I want a meal planning site! I want to create a pool of recipes that we like, and plug in how often this week we will eat at home. Then outcomes a grocery list and a plan for each day. Maybe it even sees what w…

already in the works :)

Great! Do you plan on open-sourcing? Anyway for me to help, even if it's feedback?

Always happy to have feedback! The initial version will be rolled out in the coming weeks. Since it's a major product addition, there'll be some sort of announcement. So either sign up and you'll get a wonderful mass email notification soon. Or circle back in a few weeks.

Some aspects of the site are open sourced:

https://gitlab.com/keithasaurus/simple_html -- basically a port of Elm Html to Python to address what I perceive to be flaws of template rendering.

https://bitbucket.org/cinckitchen/kunits -- just a unit library I wrote. It's central to the site's scaling, etc.

That's a practice that will continue. But the full source will likely not be made public.

I don't think it's loneliness -- I think it's a stark contrast to most of the other major recipe collection sites out there that are visually cluttered.

I think that's a refreshing change for this type of site; You may want to consider a means of allowing users to curate and discuss recipes on sub-domains, some kind of API or some other means of splitting it up? A kind of crisp, clean social platform for food prep ....

Yeah, there's a whole concept of how it may work for collaboration that has yet to be implemented. Thanks for the feedback.
