This looks great! I spotted a typo with the word "neccesary" a bit down the page, however.
Thanks for the heads up :)

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks :) and for now by hand. Working on a much quicker way to do this.
Cool, good luck! Also, not sure if this is by design or not, but the header bar (with the about and pricing links) doesn't show up until I've scrolled down past the main splash image. I'm on IE11 and Win10.
It's by design. Thanks for the look out though.

#13This looks great. I will be trying this out later.
Minor grammar nitpick: "Less grocery store trips" should be "Fewer grocery store trips."

#14I found it annoying to be forced into a pedantic onboarding tutorial. I decided not to finish it.
Can't you wait until I try to do things, like view recipes or build grocery lists, before forcing me into them? I just want to check out the app my own way. The tips could appear when contextually appropriate, and be dismissible.

#15I like it, but "the money thing" and the content in that section is tacky.
I agree with this sentiment. This is America, never apologize for capitalism. Hype the app, show us why it's worth more than your price, convince us to subscribe. Close the sale.
The personal blurb before "The Money Thing" is great, definitely keep that. But the money thing... rework it into the sales pitch. "I want to make EatHow much better. That means more delicious recipes and improvements that make things easier for you" - start with this, justify the $5, then delete the rest.

#16This 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.

#17I've always wanted something like this that works backwards from what you already have. 14 days free is too short to onboard me, though. I want a longer trial to get hooked.
Congrats!
Re: Show HN: EatHow – Figure out what to make with the food you already have
#18Solid idea. But for me it really depends on how big a recipes database you have. Eg, is it suitable for a household where a lot of the meals we already make are from a smallish geographic area?

+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!

#20This looks great. I will be trying this out later. Minor grammar nitpick: "Less grocery store trips" should be " Fewer grocery store trips."

At this point I'd consider the former correct. It's just too commonly used in too many contexts. When more natives speakers than not don't know about a rule, I dunno if it's valid anymore.
