Forkable Recipe 🚀
http://ForkableRecipe.com is project dedicated to experimenting with the data-model, incentives and collaboration involved with the ever-expanding recipe web!
Problems & Solutions 🚨
-
Ads and SEO make browsing recipes on the web, often ridiculously unbearable. Ever try to find what the next step is, while your hands are covered in chicken fat? Or flip back for the quantity of an ingredient, only to have to sift through the worse blog-spam-content combined with completely obnoxious ads?
-
Several other, unrelated strangers on the internet, have complained about the above and have home-rolled the idea of using self-hosted git for tracking and organizing their own recipes. http://ForkableRecipe.com is taking that idea to the next level. This is why I think there may be product market fit.
-
Lightning can help make, and accelerate, both of the above! Just need to iterate on exactly what that looks like.
-
The data model on the site, should enable headless e-commerce, trickle-down tipping, blog/social-media embedding, plus clever apps to be built on top for shopping tools, nutrition tools and even niche influencers!
How was it built? ðŸ›
So far, I've forked a project called Gitea, changed a minor amount of the plumbing, added sign-on using Lightning.
Blockers & Issues ✋
I'm learning Go, and front-end and Lightning

- Use at your own risk! Goal is to try to keep it up, but if nobody is using it, I might take it down for an hour here or there for maintenance
