I’d much prefer a website—I don’t really download apps anymore, and an application for Mac seems overkill.

OT but same. jobs was right, it all belongs in the browser. apps pose too much of a privacy and security risk.

We actually built a previous version of the app as a PWA but the experience and performance was horrible. You can still try it here: https://beta.parsnip.ai/

Warning: this is not a great user experience; it's somewhat helpful for experienced cooks but useless for beginners and product adoption was terrible.

nod and please understand that i am not criticizing your app (which looks excellent), but rather lamenting the sad state of (im)personal mobile computing.

the engineering effort would have been better spent making web technology better rather than two vastly different custom sdks with poor respect for user privacy and security.
