Just over $500 in subscriptions right now since posting on HackerNews and Reddit.

This is mostly because of the posts gaining high engagement and people signing up and subscribing. Many also migrating from other apps.

Expecting the revenue to go down next month

Thank you. Glad to hear

Noted. Thanks.

Yes. Adding suggested URLs.

Also fixing the bug.

Thank you

Yess! Glad you liked it.

Yes, this has been noted. Will fix it. Thanks

Apologies.

I am looking into it.

Hi, it's a known issue. I'm debugging it as we speak.

Should be fixed soon.

Ahh. That's not expected. Please tell me if you were using web or the mobile app. I'll have a look.

Oh yes!

I had planned only for Paprika app. But adding Plantoeat should be doable.

I'll keep you posted.

OG gang. :)

Do try out the new version and let me know what you feel about it.

Yes this has been added to my todo list. Thank you.

Noted. I will fix this soon.

There are many that do this TBH.

But currently the only competition I consider is Paprika. They have been in this game for over a decade.

I am going to add recipe imports directly from Paprika soon too. For people who would migrate from Paprika to Only Recipe.

I know it's a long shot, but I am going for it. :)

The OG.

Glad to hear it. Thank you. Do give this new version a try. It is wayyy better than the first one.

Hello, I am using different datacenter IPs first. If all fail to crawl, I have a Raspberry Pi in my house that crawls using my residential IP. ;)

My home IP has not been blocked yet since I regularly do human-like operations from it. Hehe.

But on a serious note, you can try services like Bright Data or Apify that have a ton of residential IPs. So if you see a cloudflare block page, just rotate the proxy.

Nice. I should find a list of alternatives for each ingredient. I'll see what I can do. Thank you for suggesting.

Great suggestion. Adding it to my TODO list. Thank you.

Hey! I never really thought in that direction.

That's a great insight. I'd definitely look into it.

Thank you

Glad you liked it. There is a free tier. So you don't necessarily have to purchase. The pricing summary is here https://get.onlyrecipeapp.com/pricing

Thank you

Here is a list (summarized by LLM)

Conversion, Scaling, and Measurement

    Conversion to weights from volume (e.g., converting '1 cup of flour' to grams). One developer noted they'd look into generic conversion feasibility.

    Scaling a recipe (e.g., adjusting ingredients for 1.5x or 2x the batch size).

    Unit Choice: Offering a clear choice between metric and imperial units.

    Unit Specificity: The ability to differentiate between US and non-US cups for accurate conversions.

    Data Structure: Displaying ingredient data with consistent units in a database to enable easy batch size adjustments and visualization of value changes.

 Structured Data and Presentation

    C4E Format: Converting recipes to the format used on Cooking For Engineers.

    Process Visualization: Displaying the entire recipe process using Gantt charts or a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) / graphviz to illustrate dependencies between steps.

    SEO/Integration: Incorporating JSON-LD support for better recipe recognition and advanced features.

    Printability: Generating dedicated print-friendly pages.

    Standard Layout: A simplified, standardized layout for better readability across all recipes.

    Sharing: A feature for sharing recipe "image cards" (screenshots) with friends.

 Management, Search, and Tools

    Shopping List: Creating a grocery list from the scraped ingredients.

    List Filtering: The ability to exclude common ingredients (salt, pepper, olive oil) from the automatically generated shopping list.

    Nutrition: Generating automatic nutrition labels.

    Personal Database: The capability to ingest every recipe from every cookbook into a personal, searchable database.

    Search Function: Allowing search for recipes instead of just requiring a URL input.

    Sync/Backup: Enabling server-sync and export/import of recipes.

    Timers: The option to set a timer linked to the time specified in a recipe step.

    Custom Lists: Allowing users to create their own categorization rules for ingredients on shopping lists.

 Platform and UI

    Dark Mode: Adding a dark mode for late-night cooking.

    iOS Integration: Implementing a Safari extension feature for the iOS app to open recipe pages automatically within the app.

    Video Parsing: The capability to parse recipes from YouTube URLs or videos.
