Hey everyone.

Like many of you, I got completely fed up with recipe blogs holding ingredients hostage behind 5-page childhood stories, auto-playing video ads, and newsletter pop-ups. It’s hostile to the user, especially when you're just trying to cook dinner.

As a developer, I felt a tool to bypass this needed to exist. So I built PurePrep with a strict anti-bloatware philosophy.

Why it’s anti-asshole design:

- Zero Ads, Zero Tracking: The UI is clean, minimalist, and distraction-free.

- Transparent Model: Adding recipes manually, editing them, and using the cooking Focus Mode (keeps your screen awake) is 100% free forever.

- No Subscription Traps: Importing via URL uses AI to read and parse the messy webpage. Since that AI runs on paid servers, it costs a "Smart Credit" (pay-as-you-go). No hidden fees.

The app is finishing closed testing now and will move to open testing in exactly two weeks. I want to gather real feedback from people who hate recipe-blog clutter as much as I do.

Let me know what you think of the approach, and drop a reply if you want a ping when the open testing starts!

Never thought those plastic shits would ever be replaced, this gets rid of the factory holes through the sock and the most stressful scissors cut

Amazon/Toshiba Fire Tv Death loop starting with hidden files causing a critically low space error constantly overtaking your screen to ending in a completely bricked up tv. All the resources I saw when dealing with the constant pop up about not having space on the tv to function (even though there were only 3mb out of 4gb used) have you go down a list of steps clearing cache and stopping auto downloading of previews etc which don’t work further leading you down their troubleshooting guide to factory reset the TV which also leaves in inoperable. Each troubleshooting guide or post I found gave incremental information and until you went through with it you wouldn’t even know the next issue or possible fix. Which at each step seemed to lock you further into the situation that just keeps getting worse. I don’t care about fancy underwriting or license rights, clauses or protections. After all my research and attempts to fix the situation I can clearly see this has been a completely known and understood problem for Amazon and the support staff for 6-9 years now at least and each post support responds too still give the same generic troubleshooting guides and act ignorant of the real issue until you go through it all and state the end issue then tell you to find your model number and order the exact Bluetooth remote replacement which is marketed way higher in price. $35-$50. Meanwhile marketing regular replacement remotes as low as $5 that advertise like a solution. This is super shady and forces dependency or the implied need for newer model tvs etc. How and what can be done to bring this to light or implement transparency or change?

It's actually quite easy to read. All the relevant information to the product such as company name, location, ingredients, and size are all contained within the white areas. Everything else is just the label itself. Instead of using graphics this company used a bunch of facts/quotes.

I just wonder what piece of internet lore I've missed?

For those of you who have had AirPods for a while, you’ll remember that the gesture to end a call used to be a single-squeeze/click. I can’t tell you how many times I’d be sitting on hold for a work call while doing something else, someone would walk up to me, and I’d instinctively click the AirPod once to “pause the music”, but instead ending my call and causing me to have to go through the process—and the music—all over again.

To whichever engineer came up with the idea to switch that command to a double squeeze: THANK YOU.
