Very cool would it be possible to get a reminder of when something is in season to plant as well, this would be very helpful with my home vegetable gardening efforts.

#102I get wildly different out-of-state results when putting in 99114 vs 99113, even though both zips are in the same starting state. What gives?

#103...congrats bruuv...wanted to build something similar lack of time killed it
Re: Show HN: Fruits and vegetables in season in your zip code
#104My visual experience: 1. There is a field to enter zipcode and empty space below. 2. I enter zipcode. 3. Empty space filled with fields for an email and name and a "we found results banner". 4. Because all the results were off my screen I figured it was nothing more than another email harvesting page. 5. Later I saw it on the front page of HN and tried it again. It still looked like an email harvesting page on my lap…
same here, assumed it was spam before realizing good stuff was below

#105Very nice! Next step: steer users to where they can get the produce. I would suggest teaming up with Community Supported Agriculture [1] where people can buy stuff right off the farm with subscription. [1] https://www.localharvest.org/csa/
I would like that too. In the LA area I have no idea where to get veggies that have been grown locally.
As a LA/OC local, we have tons of farmer's markets near us. The two powerhouses are the Wed Santa Monica Market and Sunday Hollywood market, but there are several others depending on the city you live in.

#106Very cool. Not sure if your motivation is to "promote local eating" or if you're trying to build a cool product that would bring in some cash... but if you're looking to monetize, I'd pay a small amount (about the cost of a magazine) for a HIGH-QUALITY set of recipe suggestions that use 6 ingredients or less, and take ~1hr to cook. (because I cook for a family every day, I don't have all day to cook, and I don't want…
But clearly what you mean when you say that is you really want a long-form article filled with OPs life story about how they discovered vegetables, best ways to prepare vegetables, pointers for the recipe, etc. interspersed with ads before finally delivering the recipe somewhere towards the bottom of the page (possible behind a link to a second page with the actual recipe). /s

Oh gosh those are the worst. And they never look good on your phone, so you have to get your laptop out (or tablet if you have one).
If it's not a pointless blog/article header, then the ingredients and method are split up across "tabs". So that now, when it says "melt the butter and whisk in half the flour", you need to flick back and forward multiple times for each step to remember what to do and how much to add.

#108Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's a mailing list, not a unix app. I'm not going to be piping the output from this into something else. To me the core "value prop" of this is "inspiration" for things to make. Adding specifics to that seems like a natural extension.
You need inspiration to cook a vegetable?
Not everyone is aware of what's on season or how easy those things are to prepare in a way that would satisfy picky Americans.
So yes, every bit helps.

I use cooksmarts as a recipe service. Weekly menus have reusable items. Sometimes you make double of one item one day use in the next days dinner if it stores well. Also to seasonal cooking into account.
