Products that do what Generate 'Cooking For Engineers' style recipe cards does

Hi HN, I have been working on a project which can automatically convert a recipe to the tree/graph/tabular style notation that pops up on HN every now and then. It's still early days but I am keen to hear about improvements I can make to the recipe presentation. For reference, the earliest example I have seen of this style of notation is from 'Cooking For Engineers' (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30797907) but I have seen other, similar notations from time to time. This is my take on the notation, as well as the ability to convert recipes automatically. In the…

Composer – AI architect / MCP for software architecture diagrams▲8
Hi everyone! I built Composer, which is a tool turns your ideas into architecture diagrams. You can also use MCP to turn your EXISTING codebase into a visual diagram! It connects to all possible tools using MCP (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc.) The goal was to make system design easier and to be able to draw out what I wanted to make before I started / to explain to others. Its currently live at usecomposer.com and free! I’d love feedback on whether it feels useful for real projects and where it breaks down. :) Thank you

After plenty of searching I just made my own. 7courses was built around the idea that you should be able to choose how you want to organize your recipes, and doing so should be easy and quick. The UI is responsive and intuitive, with a no frills design. Just jump right in…
