Joy

What it does

Joy takes the daily question of what to make off your plate. Tell it what you are in the mood for and what you have at home, and it builds your menu, finds recipes from the ingredients in your fridge, and writes the grocery list. In San Francisco it can book a real chef to come cook it for you. Built by Eat Cook Joy, which ran a personal chef service in real kitchens for years before turning it into software. Over 100,000 servings cooked and $250,000 paid out to local chefs.

Plan your meals, discover recipes, and book a private chef with Joy — your cooking copilot for home.

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…
