It would be nice if you could create a sharable link to share your specific recipe. You could encode it in the URL like thecookie.website/?q=20&lightness=80&chewiness=80&... - or use a reversible hash type function to get thecookie.website/2fa389dc. Then add a button to show the link & copy it to the clipboard, and maybe also make the URL change when dragging the sliders.

I did something similar with a recent useless Saturday toy project, if the source code helps anyone.

thanks!

I clicked through to your site and played with it a bit. Nice idea, and well executed! Then I hit back to come back to HN... seventeen clicks later, I’m back. Might be nice to update the URL without adding a history entry.

Ha yeah, very good point. I thought it was neat to have the entire state of the app in the URL and use the back button to demonstrate that, but yes, I should probably be replacing history instead of pushing.

Suggestion: Push once after every complete phone, but replace after an intermediate state. That way the back button goes through a list of complete combinations you tried, without forcing you to walk back individual steps.

Haha. Exact same

Nice idea. Just proved I don’t really want a $17 phone. What’s with the price point? What were you setting out to prove?

I think his idea of this website is based of one of MKBHD videos https://youtu.be/u41Zt6z5s7A

It’s based on a tweet from tech reviewer MKBHD, the link is in the footer of the site.

great idea! it's on the roadmap
