Generate 'Cooking For Engineers' style recipe cards
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…

In the maker’s words, at launch
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 future, I would like to see it become my own personal kitchen/recipe management system but I would first like to improve the recipe display options. It uses GPT-4o to format the recipe into a JSON tree structure, which is then rendered with CSS grid. So far it works well enough but there is definitely some recipes that are impossible to render, and of course GPT-4o will occasionally spit out less-than-useful trees. I have been using AppWrite for the backend. Curious to hear everyone's thoughts and what people might like to see!

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
