https://www.osomatsu.net/ — a little recipe writing and sharing website that me and my wife (and some close relatives) have been using over the last few years. Have got plenty of ideas to implement on it, but it works well for us as is at the moment. People can request to join for free if it could be useful for them too.

I _love_ the design!

A couple things I love from the recipe app I use (cookbook), which you could steal:

- Clicking on a step or an ingredient strikes it through - on larger screens (eg tablet), it’s a horizontal split screen between ingredients and steps - automated conversion between imperial/metric. - Could go even further with unit conversion for common ingredients (what the hell does a _cup_ of butter mean, it’s not a freakin liquid why would you use a volume unit, give me goddamn weight) and tips (volume of salt is very different depending on what salt you use)

No pictures? I get 50% of the information of a recipe based on the picture of the final dish. I don't buy recipe books if they don't have pictures of the final dish of each recipe
