I would love to see a crowdsourced cookbook with user submitted variations on recipes and vote ranking and comments. search by ingredients, dish, macros, calories. create meal plans, meal prep, shopping lists. then you can integrate with grocery store apis to pick up your shopping list or have it delivered with Instacart.

there are lots of avenues for monetization but it's a crowded space and hard to build all these features in and gain momentum.

My little dream project is to build a yelp for recipes. Books, internet or custom from users. I don't like Google results and also don't think search engines should be the place to find a good recipe or judge quality or authencity etc..

I love this and I will use it but it's missing the key features I described around meal plans with nutrient targets and shopping lists.

That's what sites like allrecipes.com have been doing for years and years.
