I admire this effort and wish you a lot of success with it.

I see three main problems:

1) tech people probably do not cook much and more order/eat out, so it is hard for me to imagine chefs/grandmas/not-tech-savvy people using it;

2) main problem for people cooking/experimenting is to decide what exactly to cook - and here you would usually go for something proven (e.g a cook-book or a website)

3) there is a reason not everyone can be a good recipe developer, because it takes a lot of experience and knowledge and you cannot really copy/paste and publish from existing pages/books. I am not sure if I would try a random "forked" recipe.

Good luck, I am interested in what comes out of it!




I don't believe number one to be true at all (anecdotally). Every place I have worked, there's been cook-offs and engineering takes that challenge seriously.
