I built a website and app called Kitchenese that helps you reduce food waste by keeping a record of inventory and giving you a nice visual indicator of which recipes are accessible to you. You can also search by ingredients to use up meat/produce that is close to spoiling. I plan on writing better algorithms for matching as well as introducing shopping and diet constraint features. It also has some great tools for converting measurements from metric system to US measurement system. There are currently 130 delicious recipes.

Another part of Kitchenese is a food business planning tool that helps current and aspiring restaurateurs financially plan out a business by setting variables such as labor, menus, recipes, ingredient costs, projected sales, as well as rent/equipment and other expenses.

There is a good video demonstration here: https://kitchenese.io/about/

If you enjoy cooking or want to learn how to cook I think you should check it out!

I'll look into it! Do you happen to have a ton of playlists? I've come across problems where users have too many playlists and so gathering all the songs leads to Spotify API errors eventually. I just released a temporary fix that fixes that problem but need more time for a better solution.

I made a group Spotify game where it plays random songs and you have to guess whose account has the song in their listening history. It's available for free and premium users, although only premium users can have audio playback (so if you are playing with a few people in the same room, one of you needs to have a premium account to play the songs).

I've had a few friends test out the game and feedback has been positive so far! The game setup has been a little confusing for some so I'm hoping you all will have fun trying out the game and give me good feedback on ways to improve it! It's a great way to learn more about your friends and a good ice breaker to learn about music tastes.

You could play with 2-7 players. With 2 players, the listeners are a bit more obvious, but keep in mind you can select multiple people so its possible both players listen to the song and the other doesn't know so. When you get a big group going on things definitely get a bit more interesting!

Anyways, have fun and let me know what you think! Sorry if there are a lot of bugs, I fixed a lot but I'm sure there are more out there. Let me know what you find and I will work as quick as I can to fix them.

Also, it asks for a lot of Spotify data/permissions for the game to operate. Keep in mind any of this data is deleted after the game shortly after it completes.
