Hi HN, creator here. In a previous iteration [0], Fooder tried to do way too much. I cut down and focussed on the thing I used it the most for (recipes).

It is probably not for everyone, but what it lacks in functionality (at the moment) it makes up for ease of use and speed.

Hope you check it out

Looks great really, but the Google-only auth put me off. Are you planning to add other options to create an account?


definitely, it is high on feature list but requires more work to refactor than I anticipated. Would a GitHub integration work for you or are social logins in general not your thing?


not my thing in general, yes :) I understand that managing users can be a pain, and the appeal of using these third-party logins for onboarding users, but I'd rather trust one party only.


It is generally best practice to not make buttons move as users are about to click them. I like the idea though, and I think I would consider using it; but the buttons threw me off enough to make me not want to use it.


Thanks for the feedback. You're probably right, although in this case the clickable area doesn't move. I'll look into it!
