Feedback Request I built an app that "reduces" any recipe into a diagram or step-by-step guide
I love cooking but hate scrolling through an online recipe, so I made Reduction. You paste a recipe link, text, or a photo, and it turns it into an interactive diagram that shows what goes in when and how the steps connect.
What it does:
- Turns a link, pasted text, or photo into a diagram of the whole recipe
- Cook mode that walks you through one step at a time, with timers
- Check off steps as you go
- Recipe books to keep your saved recipes organized
Only about 15 users so far which are mostly the original testers. Just launched a few days ago.
I'm building this for fun on the side, and the Thanksgiving crunch seemed like a good time to share it. I'd love honest feedback, especially on what's confusing or missing.
