Coook

Turn what you have into what you crave

What it does

Unlike most recipe AI tools that only suggest meals from your ingredients, Coook works the other way around. Tell what you’re craving, input the ingredients you already own, and AI builds custom‑fit recipes that match both your pantry and taste. Zero endless recipe browsing, no mandatory grocery runs. Fast, minimal‑UI, and fully web‑based.

Turn the ingredients you already have into personalized recipes with clear, beginner-friendly cooking guidance.

Coook does more than suggest dishes. It allocates every ingredient across the meal, shows what gets used and what remains, then guides you through cooking. Start with real pantry amounts and allocate every dish without overusing, double-counting, or forcing an extra recipe. Every gram is accounted for, so you never buy a full bag for one spoonful again. Dinner for one or a table full of friends. The count always fits. No cluttered planner. No endless filters. Just a clear path from what you have to what you will love. Add ingredient names, amounts, and units by text, search, or photo recognition. Choose how many dishes you want, and Coook checks whether the pantry can support them.…from coookai.com

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
