I've been developing a recipe search engine and meal planner at https://www.reciperadar.com/ -- all the code is free and open source.

I think the two largest challenges it has at the moment are:

- Developer experience / infrastructure setup: the service is Kubernetes-based, composed primarily of Python+Flask microservices, and although the setup steps are documented[1], they're not yet automated.

- User interface: my lack of user interface design skills are fairly apparent, I think. Having some clear UI goals to work towards would be helpful - there's likely some overlap with product design questions here (what should be the range of functionality that the the app offers?)

To be transparent: although I hope to offer compensation in future, the project is zero-revenue currently, and I don't feel ready to provide any monetary returns yet. If that hasn't put you off: any feedback is welcome, from discussion comments to pull requests to business model questions/critiques!

PS: Don't forget to mention one or two of your own side projects if there's anything you're looking for help with, too.
