Well this is a good start, I tried searching for “Anti-inflammatory” and the app crashed. Likely that scaling is way out of proportion considering it’s here on HN , but do you have any load balancing or caching setup? Debouncing on the inputs?
I get this search result https://www.recipeninja.ai/search?name=Anti-inflammatory
What browser are you using? Voice mode or typing?
I type "lasagne", hit enter, some things pop up and disappear before I can read them, and then I get a solid white screen. (in Firefox)
Search is working fine, I just tried https://www.recipeninja.ai/search?name=lasagne
35 kLOC is quite a bit. I wonder how straightforward and maintainable this app ended up to be. This would require taking a look at the sources. While good Rails code tends to be very terse, frontend may be quite voluminous.

This sounds a bit too optimistic, especially around automated testing, but yes, eventually this all will be there.
> an extremely powerful tool for even non-technical people to write production-quality apps
But why would non-technical people would even think in terms of log tailing and version control, any more than they think about the gauge of wiring in their walls, or the kind of modulation their Wi-Fi device use? For really non-technical audience to make a good use of such tools, it won't just take the AI to be a competent coder. The AI should become a competent architect and a competent senior SWE to translate from the product management language to the software development language, without even surfacing it when not explicitly asked. It's going to be quite a bit of a challenge to make it work, and work about as reliably as with a human team.
Impressive! 35 kLOC is quite a bit. I wonder how straightforward and maintainable this app ended up to be. This would require taking a look at the sources.

(2) This particular post is an interesting data point in the research of what the current crop of LLM-based tools is capable of. It reads a bit like a Windsurf ad; I would like more details on how the technical side of the development panned out, what were the problems and where, how were they overcome, etc.
(3) The parent comment reads as a somehow funny mix of socialist "anti-greed" agenda and frowning upon the fact of sharing knowledge and experience freely.
