I'm working on a project and having a API for recipes would be great. I see there is a mention on your ToS but I don't see where you could access it?

#62Looks great! I'm inclined to host my recipes there. But before I do that, what is the future for this site? * Do you monetize by getting a cut from the shopping cart? * Will I be able to easily download my data in the future, like I do with git repositories?
I built it primarily for myself. It's able to run on cheap hardware and is very lightweight, so I plan to keep it up indefinitely at minimal cost. I haven't begun looking into funding/monetization, but that may happen soon. All data is already available via the API, so at some point, there will be a "Download my data" feature.

#63this is a great idea. How many times have you looked at reviews on recipes.com or whatever and the first 10 include a half dozen substitutions, basically making a different end product entirely? each of those reviews could instead be a fork. awesome!

#64So I'm trying to submit my cheesy toast recipe as a test. Unfortunately, I can't: - "1 slice" (of bread) is not a valid quantity - "to taste" (of black pepper) is not a valid quantity Oh well. I guess I won't be using this then, at least not yet.
1 | slice bread
(blank) | black pepper, to taste
Some aspects of the UI/UX still need work.
Thanks for the feedback.

#65I like that you have a scaling feature. => https://www.cinc.kitchen/info/features
I know this may be too much to ask, but if you are taking requests, some basic nutritional info (ex: Protein content, avg. calories) might make it even more awesome for those of us tracking daily calories, protein (for atheletes etc). I understand things like sodium, fat might vary depending on how much salt or oil the person cooking the recipe uses, so maybe this might not be feasible to implement...

#67An analog to Docker images would be something like Blue Apron or Hellofresh I guess.

#68In all seriousness though, definitely looking forward to a public API. Great work!

#69Glad to see somebody actually brought a similar idea to fruition :)
Re: Show HN: Cinc – GitHub for recipes
#70Nice! 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…
