Cook Wherever: https://cookwherever.com/

Cooking is hard. I want to cook more but I am usually too hungry to focus. I am building a site to help you with all stages of cooking, not just showing you ingredients and directions.

I have also realized the knowledge I have amassed for the “why” of cooking helps me cook without needing recipes mostly. I use ML/NLP to extract entities from ingredients and directions so contextual information can be provided to someone who is curious (ex. “you preheat your oven because …”)

I really like content creators, but following videos while cooking is a no-go for my attention span. I’m working on it, but directions will work as time stamps into a video for a recipe.

TL;DR ive been consolidating my cooking knowledge in an open source recipe site https://github.com/cookwherever/cookwherever

Hey! I am excited to see people developing in this space since this is where my head is also at. Up until two years ago I was eating canned chili and soylent before I was shown the light with The Food Lab and Salt, Fat, Acid and Heat. Ever since I have been trying to share my knowledge on cooking with others with varying levels of success.

What has become clear to me is that there is no one size fits all approach to teaching cooking since it is usually a very cultural experience for most people (as many in the comments have pointed out). That said, SFAH makes the argument that most cuisines are much closer than people think when you consider the functional properties of the ingredients that you are cooking. Pizza is just pasta with yeast *Italian grandmothers slowly turn their heads towards this atrocity*

All of this to say, I believe recipes are critical to jump start the creative process of cooking. When any type of possible failure on the path to completion is experienced (ex. missing ingredient, burnt cookies, etc.) there MUST be some way of recovering or at the very least understanding how that happened.

I have been slowing taking notes on all the cooking knowledge I have come across and have been putting it along side the recipes that inspire me. Forcing learning on someone in the kitchen, who is already probably pretty hungry if cooking is seen as a chore, is not productive. Sharing the joy you get from the art that is cooking is IMPERATIVE for any type of educational resource.

completely unrelated to your post, but just wanted to say thanks for your work on the rebooting of nyt’s ingredient parser. I use it in my project here: https://github.com/cookwherever/cookwherever (site is currently down due to the server being physically moved from our house lol). If you are interested in talking more about how i’m using it I would love to share :)

looks like they typo'd, it's https://ossdatabase.com

- https://ossdatabase.com : Open source alternatives for popular software, this project itself is Open Source. (https://github.com/prithvi16/ossdatabase) and extensively uses Hotwire.

I have built and launched multiple products from ideation and design to building and marketing them. I have also worked in large and small teams. I like to take ownership of my work end to end and figure things out on my own.

https://ossdatabase.com - is a crowdsourced Open Source software database. Our goal is to make finding open source alternatives and comparing them to proprietary solutions as simple as possible.

I have also built something similar at

https://ossdatabase.com

Recently released code under AGPL-3.

But I want to go beyond aggregation and add following things

I will add your project to https://ossdatabase.com

Sure. Some links I just bookmarked and will use:

https://highbrow.se/ (Alternative search engine)

https://cora-pic.com/en (Meme generator)

https://www.mightyapp.com/ (New upcoming cloud browser)

https://ossdatabase.com/ (Database of OSS)

Hi! I am the creator of this tool. I saw people collecting Open Source alternatives on Github. Which is awesome btw, but I thought there was a better way to do this. I wanted to build a nice and clean UI and nice filters to filter projects by tech, platform, use case, and license. Following things are planned - User reviews for projects, will be screened for spam.- User-based submissions, and edits for projects. More transparency in moderation.- Karma for users based on edits. - Once I gain enough traction I plan to release the source code under MIT and the collected data in CSV files for everyone to download. - A job board for companies using Open Source tools for monetization. Alternative.to is a good tool, but it doesn't hurt to have alternatives ;). Thanks, u/zicxor for cross-posting here! source code: https://github.com/prithvi16/ossdatabase
