This can go down as one example of ‘how not to start up’ a start up!!!
All that shows up on this site made of a good concept is:

“We are making changes to our website. Please come back later.”

Blyaaah!

[...] Back in the ancient history of the earth when PC meant a Policeman (That’s Police Constable) and people talking about “The Net” where fisherman, there were very few useful things that anybody thought they could use a home computer for. I remember one of the UK TV channels giving a demonstration of how you could keep your cooking recipes in a database. As long as I can remember, its been one of the stock examples that hobbyists work on, and now apparently you can not just get an online version but there are multiple companies competing in the space. I’d love to make this article sound really synical, and point out how close the Web2.0 bubble is to bursting, but to be honest, its probably a good idea and I shall use it myself. I’m especially un-cynical about this one because the site was produced by someone who hasn’t left his day job and with very limited funding required. Good for you, I hope its a success. [...]

[...] Guys, it’s time to take a time out. Do I agree with everything he says? Absolutely not. But I don’t have to. Does he contribute something valuable? Absolutely. Does he deserve his chance at success? Absolutely. Do I think his network worth billions? Gosh no. Will I continue to mock his reviews of sites that I feel are goofy (at best)? Absolutely. Do I wish him ill will? Not at all (heck, I’m going to his party this week)! [...]

I just tried saving to my epantry and it worked fine. The login seems to be working correctly too.

The log-in doesn’t seem to be working – each time I enter my log-in and password it just takes me back to the page I was at previously, and I cannot continue with the site. Frustrating.

anon-guy : Who said I ever wanted to do it? I have plenty of ideas, if I chased all of them I’d be wasting time. I stick to the ones that I know I can execute better.

Brilliant idea! The looks great — I’ll give it a try this weekend. And I love Michael’s idea about combining this with RFID…

By: Niels

Niels — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 09:52:13 +0000

Of course, this is a possibility (within 2 to 4 years each and every item in stores will be equipped with an RFID tag, at least in Europe). Just install a scanner in your front door and/or garage, and as you unpack your car, your items are scanned, and submitted to a central repository

Sounds like I’m going to work on this

By: Michael Arrington

Michael Arrington — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 08:25:16 +0000

Niels,

How about RFID tags on everything that our kitchen auto detects and keeps an inventory of at all times?

I actuallly like the design on the site.

By: Niels

Niels — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 07:26:02 +0000

Who will actually take the time to store all the items he/she has in the pantry?
As an engineer I see much more in providing some tools (like a barcode scanner) which adds your food items (scan it when bought and scan it when being used) to a central database, and from there picks a selection of recipes.

Nice concept, this RecipeMatcher, Apart from the design of the website which – in my opinion – lacks userfriendliness…

It´s very nice to be able to store the ingredients I have in the pantry.
It´s a way to discover new recipes.

My wife has a computer in the kitchen. She made a great white cream sauce last night with grilled salmon… all from a recipe online. I’ll tell her about this recipe site…

I agree about the signup, but its a really nice tool over all. Well executed, useful, and simple. Those are the three things I look for in a product and it looks like they nailed those.

By: sc

sc — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 01:57:54 +0000

Good concept, but why should I sign up? If the site uses a unique user profile only to remember what they have in their pantry/refrigerator, why not use Google proxy authentication?

The required signup before doing anything turns me off…where’s the foreplay…huh?

[...] I found this over at TechCrunch and really had to make a post about it because I found it incredibly useful, and probably every other guy that lives on his own and wants to cook something good for himself . I have the hardest time actually creating a meal, I would much rather run over to Wendy’s, but I think that might change. With RecipeMatcher.com you can actually enter in the items that you normally have in your kitchen and do a search for recipes based on that. It’s Genious! [...]
