Show HN: My first web app - HakingPot

This looks cool, but it was hard for me to figure out what it is. Hacking is an overloaded term, so I started off searching for things like MongoDB. Maybe on the homepage you could put some examples to provide context.

Just curious, where do you source your recipes from? Edit hah it looks like they're from MakeZine.

This is a cool idea, best of luck with it.

I had the same problem, immediately typed things like node.js ... eventually got the idea by searching arduino.

Definitely would be nice to give some example search terms.

I had the same problem with context as well. The first thing I searched for was 'onions', as I thought it was a food recipe website.

So, what does it do? What kind of search term did you enter?

I was trying to type in PHP, but it got autocorrected to pho, which I guess is a partial string match for phone, so I got a bunch of phone hacking things. This is how I figured out that it's about hardware hacking.

I typed in 'pot' and didn't find anything consumable.
