This is awesome! I've long thought of making something like this. One caveat though, I would never pay $5/mo for it. If you're writing the recipes, consider advertising and product placement as a revenue stream.
Yep same, was interested to check it out, but stopped when I saw 'Start your free trial' At least let me get hooked on some value before trying to make me sign up / pay.

#32Very cool project! I often hear people talk about this as an idea, but never really getting further than that :) Some suggestions/notes: - Looking at a recipe (e.g. https://www.eathow.com/recipes/219 ) I think you forgot to use a cursor: pointer; on the "Directions" and "Ingredients", to indicate that they are clickable - Someone else mentioned, but you don't have to be so apologetic about wanting money for this :) M…
Maybe that's another feature you can add, amount of money the person has saved (approximately) through food re-use. Not sure how you'd implement it though.

#34Cool to see someone implement this often-suggested idea!
Having a subscription does sound hard to get off the ground tho. Maybe it'd be better monetised thru advertising deals? Can't find any good recipes with what you have? Blue Apron would be happy to cover you for next time...

+1 same thing i was thinking. I wouldn't pay monthly...but I'd use it daily. so ads / product placement might be better route. Great job though!

#37This looks really awesome but google does this for me. It will be interesting to see how EatHow differentiates themselves from google results.

No credit card or email required to try it. I should make that clear in the page.

That might help, but providing some example searches and recipes before requiring an account would also be helpful. Personally, I'm only comfortable signing up for something if I feel I can reasonably judge its quality first, even if it's free.
