You're talking about targeting a billion people. Who is that billion people? Is that the western world? Or people in the world with no cooking skills? Do you have an idea of the distribution of cooking skills in the world / western world? How many people need to develop basic skills?

There are many ways to get there but our initial thesis is to target beginners in English-speaking countries. Eventually we want to teach intermediate/advanced cooks and any cuisine to anyone regardless of where they lived.

This looks incredible! I would love a macOS app as I spend more time on the Mac than on my iPhone. Well done for not enforcing account registration and letting me actually try the app.

Thanks. Our goal is to make learning to cook as easy as possible, and that includes making onboarding as easy as possible :-) Re: MacOS app: is that the same toolchain as iOS, or totally different? Our iOS app is built in Swift but I'm not an iOS developer, so actually not super familiar with the ecosystem.

Similar request - would love this but am not bought into Google Play or Apple.

Is there any chance of a web version at some point?
